Investigators said Paul Williams, 28, was shot during an exchange of gunfire after he shot at deputy constables while they were responding to a domestic disturbance call. Jesse Williams, the suspects brother, said Paul was a nice guy. Authorities said three deputy constables, including Christopher Hendrix, came to an apartment complex located at 13875 Ella Blvd. When Hendrix and the two other deputy constables arrived at the apartment complex, they knocked on the door, authorities said. Investigators believe Paul was struck by a bullet when the deputy constables initially returned fire.
