At some point that evening, Williams accessed his ex’s phone without her knowledge and found evidence that she had been "interacting with other men," according to the affidavit. Williams became enraged and ripped the television mounted on the wall, breaking it, the affidavit said. The victim fled to her bedroom, chased by Williams, who tore the door apart with his bare hands, according to the affidavit.
Williams then threw pieces of the shattered door at her before punching her in the head and face with closed fists, the affidavit said. He then repeatedly raped and strangled her, according to the affidavit. The woman tried to defend herself but was overpowered. At one point, he allegedly held a knife to her, and threatened to use it if she tried to get away. The woman later told the police she thought she was going to die.
