Prior to police being contacted, Williams smashed the front and rear windows of a vehicle belonging to one of the victims. After that, he approached the front door of their house and tried to kick it in, but he was unsuccessful. He then broke out the first story front window and gained entry. The victims hid in a bathroom but the suspect kicked open the door. He took the cellphones from the two victims and then struck one woman in the back of her head.
