Following this initial act of violence, a larger fight broke out. It was in the chaos of this subsequent brawl that Bryan Williams sustained the injuries that would ultimately lead to his death. When Tulsa police officers responded to a call about the stabbing at approximately 2:00 a.m., they arrived to find a grim scene. Bryan Kent Williams was already deceased.
Despite the passage of time, the case of Bryan Williams's death remains an open wound for his family and the city of Tulsa.
