Funeral held for slain Moody police officer Williams
Monday, slain Moody police officer Lt. Stephen Williams was buried less than a week after he was killed in the line of duty.
Williams was responding to a report of a disturbance at the Super 8 Motel on Highway 411 in Moody when he and a police trainee were fired upon.
“Fallen Moody PD Lt. Stephen Williams was laid to rest today,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Town. “Law enforcement from around Alabama and the entire country gathered to pay tribute to a brother whose end of watch came much too soon. I was honored to be among them. We must forever remember his sacrifice in the protection and service to his community. My thoughts and prayers are with the Williams family, Moody PD, and all who knew him.”
Also on Monday, the St. Clair County District Attorney’s office announced that a judge has denied bail for the Birmingham couple that have been charged with killing Lt. Williams. Tapero Johnson, age 27, and Marquisha Tyson, age 28 were both charged with capital murder for the shooting death of Lt. Williams. The two could potentially receive the death penalty.
