The authorities have finally agreed to a full investigation into what happened to Marshawn. I am overwhelmed with relief that our persistence forced this outcome for my family. We will stay alert until the truth is fully brought to light.

During the altercation Calvin Smith struck Marshawn Williams with an iron bed rail. Police were called but before they made it to the scene Marshawn complained of his side and fell over. The Police arrested Marshawn and no one else. During the arrest it is believed that he was allegedly beaten by the police as well. It was witnessed that Marshawn told them that he was sick and hit with an iron bed rail. It was told to the mother Donnie Williams and his sister Tenika Williams by police officers at the police station that on the way to the police department Marshawn passed out twice.
Why wasn't medical help offered? Police refused to let the mother and sister see Marshawn at the police department but admittedly told them about Marshawn urinating on himself helplessly and proceeded to show them the chair he urinated in. Donnie and Tenika Williams left the police department. At 4:00 am May 19, 2014 police were summoned to Donnie Williams home to notify her to get to Yazoo Police Dept. Donnie Williams was accompanied by daughter Tenika Williams and her children's father Milton Williams. They were told that Marshawn La'Trell Williams had died at 1:45 am in a jail cell. It was also reported that along with another cellmate, he and Marshawn banged on the cell and yelled for help....there was no response! He left behind a 6 year old daughter and a 1 year old son. Marshawn was 24 years old. His body was covered in bruises and cuts from being beaten!!
We ask that you support us on this fight for wrongful death!! We demand a better investigation!! This is a horrible investigation! WE DEMAND JUSTICE!! Again no one has been arrested and why not? This unfortunate death could have possibly been prevented if proper medical help was given. This can happen to anyone...don't let this fight be unheard as many others have!!

The silence from the department remains deafening but we are documenting every single detail of what they did to my brother that night. I read your comments every day and they remind me that he is not just a file in a cabinet to you. We are preparing to push harder for the answers they are trying to bury.

The momentum behind this is growing and it gives me hope that the truth about what happened to Marshawn will finally be revealed. Seeing this many people demand accountability for his death keeps my family moving forward in our search for justice.

JUSTICE 4 MARSHAWN. They did him wrong and they know it. TRUTH GON COME OUT SOONER OR LATER.
This whole thing is messed up. How you gonna ignore a man tellin you he hurt and just let him fall out like that. Police gotta answer for this mess. Sending love to the family.
Lord help this family get the answers they deserve. My heart just breaks every time I read about what happened that night. Praying for peace for Ms. Donnie and Nika.
I have been praying for Marshawn and for justice for him. This was so sad and senseless. Nika, I have really tried to avoid speaking about this because I just don't know what to say to you, let alone Donnie or Milton. This could have been one of my brothers and I cry just thinking about what Marshawn must have gone through during his final moments because he had no loved ones near...only the enemies. But take comfort in knowing that God sees all and for all of those who had a hand in his death, you have not gotten away with murder. You are already imprisoned by knowing what you did and it is just a matter of time that EVERYONE will know who YOU are and watch you be punished for this heartless crime. Rest in Peace Marshawn!!!!! Praying for y'all Nika!
