Police had sought Williams in the Nov. 26 death of 38-year-old Tyrone Hardin of Merrillville, Indiana. The shooting occurred while Williams was fleeing after allegedly stealing a car. He also shot at a second person, officials said.
Hardin, an Indiana resident, was working the second job as a security guard to earn enough money to provide nice Christmas for his family, The Chicago Sun-Times reported.
“He assured me i wasn’t dangerous,” his wife, Gwinette Oliver, told the newspaper. “He said the worst thing is ‘I might get chewed up by one of the coyotes that come up there.’"
