As an internal investigation continues, Williams' mother, Sonya, said she is still trying to come to terms with what happened. Around 1:55 a.m., Robinson and Thomas were conducting a patrol of Rock Quarry Road and asked for backup to which Aquino responded, according to the report. Williams allegedly resisted getting handcuffed, which prompted the officers to call for backup, according to the report. The officers then gave verbal warnings for Williams to comply or he would be tased, and Robinson deployed his Taser after Williams allegedly didn't obey the order, according to the report.
Officer Thomas made contact with his Taser on Williams' side, while Officer Robinson made contact with his Taser on the left side of Mr. Williams' back, the report said.
