A man in Florida is in jail after allegedly shooting and killing a sheriff’s deputy responding to a domestic violence call. A sheriff’s deputy in the Florida Panhandle was killed during a standoff with a suspect who was being served with a warrant on Christmas Eve.
Timothy Price-Williams was charged with premeditated first-degree murder in the death of Cpl. Ray Hamilton on Saturday in Fort Walton Beach. Price-Williams opened fire on Hamilton and other deputies who had responded to a call to his home around 9:00 a.m. Saturday, according to the Okaloosa Sheriff’s Office.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that Hamilton was setting up a perimeter around a townhouse that Price-Williams had refused to move away when shots were fired from inside, striking the deputy. Hamilton was taken to the hospital and died there.
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies attempted to serve Price-Williams with a domestic violence warrant but he refused to leave the house. The sheriff’s office dispatched a special response team to negotiate a peaceful exit with the suspect. Price-Williams refused to leave the house for a while even after Hamilton was shot.
When Price-Williams eventually went outside, he “caused another deputy to fire on him,” according to the sheriff’s office. The suspect’s right arm was wounded. Price-Williams was taken to the hospital for medical attention. On Sunday, he was denied bond and remained in jail. There was no online court docket for him yet, so it was unknown whether he had an attorney.
Hamilton had served with Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office for five years and was a member of the department’s Special Response Team. Sheriff Eric Aden said in a statement that they are devastated by the loss of Corporal Hamilton, who was a ray of sunshine in the OCSO, dedicated to protecting others. The team appreciated the love and support offered to his family and coworkers.
