Eugene I. Williams served in the U.S. Navy.
Officer Eugene Williams was shot and killed while approaching a vehicle that had just been involved in an accident. He had observed the vehicle strike a parked car so he had positioned his cruiser to stop the car in the 700 block of 12 Street, SE. As he approached it the man inside suddenly pulled out a handgun and shot Officer Williams in the chest. He was able to return fire and wound the suspect. Officer Williams was a U.S. Navy veteran and had served with the Metropolitan Police Department for six years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Officer Williams gave the Metropolitan Police Department 6 years.
Thank you for your service to the Washington community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
