A Stark County grand jury declined to indict the Canton Police Officer in the shooting death of a Canton resident on New Year's Day
CANTON, Ohio — Canton Police Officer Robert Huber will face no criminal charges in the shooting death of 46-year-old James Williams on New Year’s Day.
Minutes after midnight on New Year’s Day, Officer Huber responded to the 2300 block of Tenth Street to investigate gunfire. Upon arrival, body camera shows Huber was met with several seconds of gunfire as Williams illegally shot an A-R15 into the air behind a fence. Officer Huber then fires shots into the fence, only announcing his presence after he shot 8 times. Williams died from his injuries.
Shortly after the grand jury’s decision came to light, protestors showed up outside of the prosecutor’s office to have their voices heard. “Hurt, disappointed,” he said. “We don’t know who this grand jury is, we don’t know where the grand jury is from, we don’t know their reasons.”“They witnessed their father die from shooting behind a privacy gate in his backyard, without the police saying ‘Stop, put your gun down’ or anything,” said Cousins.
