Summary
A chilling new video from Austin PD reveals the tragic shooting of 17-year-old Anthoneil Williams II — officers mistook a water bottle for a weapon, and the 911 call came from his own phone. Slowed footage shows him lifting his shirt and extending his hands, prompting three officers to fire. Critics, including Austin NAACP president Nelson Linder, call it “suicide by police” and demand accountability. City leaders push for transparency, while the Justice Coalition rallies for justice at City Hall tomorrow — and the officers remain on paid leave.
