RALEIGH, N.C. — Civil rights attorney Ben Crump demanded Thursday that “swift justice be taken” and that the Raleigh police officers who tased Darryl “Tyree” Williams be fired and charged with manslaughter.
Williams, a 32-year-old Black man, died in police custody on Jan. 17. His family announced earlier this week it had hired Crump's law firm in the case.
Officers used a stun gun on Williams three times while trying to arrest him for alleged drug possession while they patrolled outside a sweepstakes parlor on Rock Quarry Road.
