During the night, Williams entered the 8-year-old’s bedroom and tripped over a laundry basket. He woke the child up and yelled at him to clean his room. He left the room and returned a couple of minutes later to see the child sitting on the edge of the bed.

Williams told police he grabbed the child and slammed him on the bed. He told police his intention was to slam the child in the middle of the bed, but missed. The child fell to the floor and was unresponsive. He then transported the child to UPMC McKeesport Hospital.

A couple of hours later, the child was flown to Children’s Hospital. There, doctors said the injuries were consistent with severe trauma and the child’s prognosis is grave.

Williams is now facing a list of charges including aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and recklessly endangering another person. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
