There is a march and rally scheduled for tomorrow in Mona Park for 25-year-old Fred Williams lll, who was killed by Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputies Oct 16.
Mona Park is located at 2291 E 121st St, Compton, CA 90222. The rally starts at 2:00 p.m.
A local well-known videographer released a video of the shooting incident to his social media platforms, which shows a L.A Sheriff Deputy chasing Williams down a driveway into a backyard. He goes out of frame but you can see the deputy shooting at a slight angle.
Following the shooting death of Kizzee, LASD officers started wearing body cameras, although the footage released was not from LASD. The department has also stated they will be releasing body camera footage.
It should be noted that there have been shootings in the area where Williams was killed near Mona Park. Please keep this in mind if you plan to support tomorrow’s action. Travel in groups if you can.
