Alabama Sheriff Is Reportedly Killed Over Loud Music

Lowndes County in Alabama is mourning the loss of a pillar in their community, Sheriff John “Big John” Williams. According to the Montgomery Adviser, Sheriff Williams was allegedly shot in the head around 8:15 p.m. on Saturday (Nov. 23) after approaching the car of William Chase Johnson outside of a QV convenience store near the Lowndes County Courthouse. Reports say that Williams was going to inquire about Johnson’s music being loud and ask him to turn it down.

Shortly after midnight on Sunday (Nov. 24), following a four-hour manhunt, Johnson surrendered at the same gas station where he took Sheriff Williams’ life. According to The Associate Press, the state issued an emergency alert late Saturday (Nov. 23) saying that they were seeking an 18-year-old white man, who was last seen around the time of the shooting at a QV gas station in Lowndes Country about 20 miles southwest of Montgomery. Sgt. Steve Jarrett, the commander of state troopers’ Montgomery post, confirmed that Johnson approached the scene with a handgun, which was taken from him before he was placed in custody. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency canceled the emergency alert after Johnson was apprehended.

According to Elmore jail records, Johnson was charged with murder and a bond has not yet been set.

Williams was first elected sheriff of Lowndes County, which is predominately Black and had a population of 11,000, in 2010, according to The Associated Press.

The AL.com reports that Williams is the fifth Alabama law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty this year.

Ofc hes white.
I don't think the race is important here. If your gonna shoot a cop just cos he's approaching you then you are wrong in the head regardless of colour.

Why did you mention the fact that sheriff is black and the murderer is white? Do you have evidence that it was a racially motivated attack?

"Ofc he's white" is the comment that confused me - I didn't want to jump to racism being the motivation for that post. Your reply to him didn't help and confused me more.

i meant that you dont see a black guy going and randomly shooting an innocent person. sure black and mexicans do kill people due to drug wars ect but the victims aint exactly innocent
idk i may be wrong. but its usually white males who are the terrorists shooting up walmarts, schools and churches.

This is a pretty baffling post and I can only assume that you hold bigoted views against white people.

What relevance is it that they are white??? If I created a thread with the title,

“White Alabama Sheriff Killed By Black Teen“

Would you not think that the OP was a racist? Both this example and your thread title are racist and you should be ashamed of yourself.
