Keon’s Family Claims Cops Swiped Cash From A Dead Man’s Pockets
posted (May 3, 2016)
The body of 38 year old Keon Williams now lies at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital awaiting a postmortem examination. However, even before a proper autopsy has been concluded, the family says there is already something shady surrounding the scene and the way it was processed. According to his family, Gambis Williams had a substantial amount of money on him when he was gunned down. However when the family checked his body at the hospital his money was gone. The family says they feel even more disrespected at the thought. So who would steal a dead man's money? Here are the two sides of that story.

"I told them that "Gambis" had lots of money on him, because "Gambis" took the rental vehicle. Other people say that he was gambling at the fish market. But the guy who he was gambling with say that he did have X amount of money on him and the police say that whenever they put him in the morgue they will search him. They searched him and the only thing he had on him was $2 in his pocket, because they had already robbed him. People are saying that the police robbed him. I don't know, because I wasn't out there. He had his watch, his phone and everything else he had. Only $2 he had in his pocket."

"I would want to refute that information here and done, because he was shot shortly after he left a food stand on the boulevard and he was picked up quickly by the police and taken to the hospital and in the presence of his family his property was removed and there was no substantial amount of money on him."

The family did not give a specific amount of money that they claim was on Gambis at the time of his death but they cited a couple thousand.
