Tamekio Williams told the station the incident occurred after Damante allegedly bumped into someone he didn't know that night, although she still doesn't know what could have motivated her son's attacker.
"To my understanding, he didn't even know these people, so why would you hit somebody with a bowling ball in the head?" Williams said. “ ... Someone came up from behind him when the security guard was holding him and threw a bowling ball and hit his head. Just bring this person to justice.”
