William J Williams

William J Williams was executed for the aggravated murders of Alfonda Madison, William Dent, Eric Howard and Theodore Wynn.

Willie Williams expressed love for his family Tuesday before being executed by lethal injection for the slayings of four men in Youngstown in 1991 in a crime that became known as the "Labor Day Massacre."
Clad in dark blue pants with a red stripe down the legs and a white short-sleeved shirt, the 48-year-old Williams, who was known as "Flip," calmly entered the Death House at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility shortly after 10 a.m., laid on a table and looked at family members sitting behind a window nearby.
Williams used his final statement to recognize his family.

"I don't want to waste no time talking about my lifestyle, my case, my punishment," Williams said into a microphone held by Warden Edwin Voorhies.
"Mom, you've been there from the beginning and I love you," Williams said, referring to his mother, Joyce Williams.
Williams said he loved his other family members.
"Y'all stick together," Williams said. "Don't worry about me, I'm OK. This ain't nothing, I'll be OK. That's it," Williams said before the deadly drugs flowed into his veins.
