Anthony D. Williams, 57, died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds, according to Doyle Burke, chief coroner’s investigator for the Warren County Coroner’s Office. Burke said Williams’ body was autopsied on Monday and that the case remains under investigation.
Once on the scene, police requested the Warren County Tactical Response Unit.
The preliminary investigation indicates that while waiting for the tactical response team to respond, the “individual emerged from the residence pointing a firearm at the direction of our officers, which caused our officers to defend themselves and use lethal force,” the release read.
