RALEIGH, N.C. — Several small glass jars filled with sand, candles and flowers spelled out “Tyree” on the ground of a busy parking lot in Southeast Raleigh Thursday night.
As darkness fell, the crowd swelled to about 50 people in front of Supreme Sweepstakes and the Rock Quarry Smoke Shop & Convenience Store.
They were all there to remember 32-year-old Darryl Williams, known by close friends as Tyree. He died early Tuesday morning after he was tased by officers who were trying to take him into custody.
