<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Sheriff&#8217;s Office questioned his narrative that he was punched in the face and kicked by the mother and son, citing his mugshot photo showing no visible signs of injuries. <br>&#8216;He claims he was violently attacked by these two, now, I don&#8217;t see anything on this guy,&#8217; Chief Deputy Brian Henderson said at a press conference.<br>&#8216;This does not look like a violent attack that warrants being shot multiple times.&#8217; <br>Records show that Williams has a history of domestic violence and child abuse.<br>He surrendered to police without incident around 8pm that same night, and told police he and Ebanks-Williams were arguing over the electricity usage, according to the Volusia Sheriff&#8217;s Office. <br>Ebanks-Williams, a mental health coach, had called police several hours ahead of the attack, seeking &#8216;legal advice&#8217; about &#8216;who controls the power,&#8217; Henderson said. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Investigators say Michael Williams became enraged at the family home. He felt that Marsha Williams, her adult son Robert Adams and his two young children, visiting their grandmother from Tallahassee, were using too much electricity.<br>&#8216;Michael was upset, he felt that they were leaving the lights on in the house and he went and put a lock on the box outside of the house, to which Marsha and her son cut,&#8217; Chief Dep. Henderson said. <br>Inside the home during the shooting was Adams&#8217; two children Jeremiah, 5, and 6-year-old Faith, who remained unharmed. <br>&#8216;We do believe the [children], may have been a witness to this homicide,&#8217; Henderson said. <br>&#8216;You have a five and six-year-old that likely witnessed their father getting murdered.&#8217; <br>The Sheriff&#8217;s Office is working with the Florida Depart of Children and Families (DCF) and the Child Protect Team to interview them. </p>
