RALEIGH, N.C. — The family of Darryl “Tyree” Williams, a Black man who died after being tased by Raleigh police in January, has hired renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump to represent them.
Williams, 32, was tased three times Jan. 17 by Raleigh police officers who were arresting him for alleged drug possession outside a sweepstakes parlor on Rock Quarry Road.
“Yet again, we see a life lost too soon due to excessive and unreasonable police force,” Crump said in a statement announcing his involvement in the Williams case.
