Policeman Williams was on duty at an event known as the Paris Colored Fair when the man entered the fairgrounds and observed his wife on a ride with another man. He pulled the woman off and started beating her. Policeman Williams came to her aid and was attempting to subdue the man when he pulled out a dirk and stabbed Policeman Williams in the heart.
