Austin Protest Demands Justice for Anthoneil Williams | Austin News

Austin erupted in protest as愤怒 citizens stormed a City Council meeting demanding justice for Anthoneil Williams, a 17-year-old fatally shot by police just days prior. Chants silenced the room, with one grieving mother accusing officials of lying and covering up a pattern of deadly force — citing another 2021 killing. Security struggled to control the chaos, while supporters chanted “Let her speak.” The incident followed new police video revealing Williams appeared to reach for his waistband — it was actually a water bottle — and that the 911 call came from his own phone, sparking claims of “suicide by police.” Three officers remain on paid leave as the investigation unfolds.
