A booking photo of Williams, who remains hospitalized, is not available at this time.

The female shooter, 24, was not injured in the incident.

HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division Detective A. Shaikh reported:

HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting at an apartment complex at the above address and learned Williams, the ex-boyfriend of a female tenant, broke a glass patio door and  forced entry to her apartment, possibly to assault her.  The woman retrieved her handgun and, in self-defense, shot Williams several times.  Houston Fire Department paramedics transported Williams to the hospital.

Further investigation indicated there was a history of violence between the woman and Williams and a protective order was in place.  The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was consulted and Williams was subsequently charged for his role in the incident.
