Canton Township -- ... About 9:30 a.m. Sunday, Canton police got a call about a domestic disturbance at a home in the 3500 block of Wall Street. Officers arrived but found nobody home, Gajeski said. However, they did find a note at the home, written by Ed Williams, which caused concern, he said.


"It wasn't quite a suicide note, but it was a note indicating that he wanted his mother to have all his possessions if something happened to him," Gajeski said. "It was enough to make us take action."

After finding the note, the Canton officers entered Ed Williams' name into the Law Enforcement Information Network as an endangered missing person, Gajeski said.

An hour and a half after the note was found, Canton's shift commander called the Detroit Police Department to make them aware of the potentially violent situation brewing with Ed and Patricia Williams, Gajeski said.

"We told them about the domestic violence calls, and that we'd put (Ed Williams) into LEIN," he said.

Detroit Police 2nd Deputy Chief John Roach said a homicide investigator contacted Ed Williams that day.

"He indicated everything was all right, so we communicated that back to Canton, and they took him out of LEIN," Roach said.

Two days later, tragedy struck.

At 8:57 a.m. Tuesday, Canton Police received a call from an acquaintance of Patricia Williams, who told officers the couple was on the way to the Canton Police Department.

Nineteen minutes later, there were several 911 calls reporting shots fired in the parking lot of the Canton Public Library.....
