Las Vegas Strip, NV
#JusticeForZayyy March was held in memory of 19 year old Isaiah Tyree Williams at the Venetian Fountains outside of the hotel / casino on the #LasVegasStrip.
Isaiah’s mother, sisters, along with
Las Vegas community members and friends attended in solidarity to help spread awareness of the recent death / killing of Isaiah by LVMPD.
#IsaiahTyreeWilliams
was killed by LVMPD SWAT on Monday 1/10/22 at approximately 5 a.m. while serving a search warrant.
Isaiah was NOT the suspect they were looking for.
The no-knock search warrant was conducted by 5 officers. The officers involved in the shooting were identified as :
Sgt. Russel Backman, 46,
Officers Kerry Kubla, 50, Brice Clements, 36, James Rothenburg, 39 & Alex Gonzales, 39.
Isaiah was sleeping on the living room sofa when he woke up to a flash grenade shattering the window to his right and a door ram hammer slammed 5 x breaking open the apt. front door. Isaiah then woke up and attempted to defend himself as LVMPD SWAT opened 23 rounds from both sides of the apartment killing him. LVMPD went on to say that,
“Had he survived, Williams would have been arrested on counts of attempted murder with use of a deadly weapon on a first responder”
*CLEARING* LVMPD of accountability for their OWN “mistake” / actions on that morning.
A now similar, almost identical case just took place in Minneapolis on Feb. 2nd, 2022 - killing 22 year old #AmirLocke. Body cam footage shows Minneapolis SWAT entering an apt. @ 6 a.m. with the same no-knock warrant tactic that left the Amir dead.
