⚠️ Unclear / Developing Points

• The motive for the shootings is not yet clearly established or publicly detailed. WISN+1

• The exact sequence of events at each crime scene (interaction between Williams and each victim, reasons for the confrontation) is still under investigation.

• Some details differ slightly between reports (e.g., whether the third scene is at “Courtland” vs “Glendale” for the street name).

🧭 What’s Next

• The case will move through the legal system: likely a preliminary hearing, then possible indictment or formal filing of charges followed by trial.

• The prosecution will rely on video footage, forensic evidence (gun shell casings, ballistics), witness statements (including family/relations), and other investigative leads.

• Defense may focus on mental-health issues and other mitigating factors given the mention of substance use and mental struggles in the complaint.

• If convicted under first-degree intentional homicide statutes in Wisconsin, Williams faces life in prison. WISN
