The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff and the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office are investigating the death of inmate Levele Williams which occurred at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek on Thursday, September 24, 2020, at about 9:04 PM.

Earlier, on Wednesday, September 23, at about 7:20 PM, Williams was involved in a fight with other inmates at the Martinez Detention Facility (MDF). He was seen by Contra Costa Health Department medical staff at the facility.

At about 10 PM, Williams was transported to Contra Costa Regional Medical Center in Martinez after complaining of pain to his jaw. On Thursday, September 24, at about 2:15 AM, he was transported to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek where he later underwent surgery for a broken jaw.

Williams apparently suffered from complications during surgery and was later pronounced deceased while at the hospital.

32-year-old Williams of Oakland was arrested by the Pittsburg Police Department on September 9, 2020. He was booked into MDF on the following charges: assault with a deadly weapon (firearm), felon in possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, and having a concealed weapon in his vehicle. In addition, there was a Ramey warrant for his arrest for murder and another warrant with charges that include domestic violence and making criminal threats.

He died in surgery. Health professionals don’t get the privilege of lying to the public like law enforcement.

Time for the 40winers to put his name on the back of their helmets and for the warriors and A’s to put his name on their jerseys to honor a career criminal like all professional sports do. Please do the USA a big favor, would all professional sports teams please boycott all their games forever!
