Overview
- Judge Steven Watkins issued the sentence in Cook County court in early January 2026.
- A jury found Jeffon Williams guilty in August on nine felony counts, including multiple attempted-murder charges.
- Prosecutors said Williams ignored commands during a Homan Square stop, grabbed a handgun, fired and wounded two officers, and was then shot by a responding officer.
- Both officers had about two years on the force; one was shot in the shoulder and the other suffered torso and arm wounds that damaged his lung and intestines.
- COPA has not released body-worn camera footage or related records because a judge ordered them withheld while the case was pending.
