A Discrepancy In the Narrative Of Chester’s Alleged Shooter
posted (May 25, 2016)

You may remember the high speed city chase that almost got Assistant Commissioner of Police Chester Williams shot by a gunman, or worse. As we told you, On May 13th Williams was driving in his personal vehicle when he got word of a shooting on Euphrates Avenue. He was also alerted of a fleeing black truck that was nearby when the shooting happened. Williams was in the area and set chase after the men in the vehicle. He caught up with them and that is when he came face to face with 19 year old Zacharia Knox. Knox fired 3 shots at Williams but he missed. Knox along with 2 others were charged in connection with the shooting. But there is one thing that does not quite add up, Knox somehow ended up in the hospital in a critical condition after that brazen encounter with Williams. So how did he get there? Well we asked Williams about it today and he said plainly : he does not know!

Mike Rudon - Channel 5 News
"That fellow last report we got he fired at you, he was apprehended that same evening and somehow from there to this point he is at the KHMH in what was critical condition up to a couple days ago. Could you take us from the apprehension to the KHMH."

ACP Chester Williams - OC, Chester Williams
"I don't know, I don't know."

ASP Desiree Phillips - OC, Eastern North Division
"I'm not able to speak to that."

Mike Rudon - Channel 5 News
"But I don't understand this person was in police custody."

ACP Chester Williams - OC, Chester Williams
"I don't know Mr. Rudon, I don't know."

Apart from Knox, 23 year old Devon Sankey, 21 year old Justin Hyde, and 44 year old Larry Wright- were all charged with use of deadly means of harm on May 16th.
