What happened
Quron Williams was fatally shot by Philadelphia police on April 9, 2016. The Washington Post's police shooting data records the incident in Philadelphia. The available index does not identify the exact initial response, the circumstances of the confrontation, whether officers used less-lethal means, or the outcome of any district attorney investigation. A full story would require Philadelphia police records, witness accounts and a legal decision specific to Williams rather than relying only on the fact of the death. This entry preserves his identity and date and does not assign unverified conduct to him or the officers.
