AUSTIN, Texas - A crowd of protesters gathered in downtown Austin to call for accountability in the death of a 17-year-old.

The backstory: At Wooldridge Square, people were holding signs with pictures of 17-year-old Anthoneil Williams II, who was shot and killed by Austin police officers on July 24.

The protest comes in response to an incident last week, when APD received a call for a young person brandishing a gun near Dessau Rd. Officers located Williams at a nearby park.
