A video has surfaced, revealing the vicious assault that occurred on a bustling Miami Beach street, resulting in the death of one woman and another woman facing a murder charge.
On June 26, a deadly assault took place in the vicinity of 5th Street and Ocean Drive.
NBC6 released cellphone footage on Wednesday that captures 20-year-old Zaria Liana Williams allegedly repeatedly punching another woman. Police authorities were able to identify the incident.
As soon as the officers arrived, they took Williams into custody while the victim, 55-year-old Anna Mathis, was lying on the ground. The police body camera footage captured the entire incident.
Initially, Mathis is breathing and her eyes are open, but there is no movement.
The officer attempts to communicate with Anna while a person claiming to be a nurse offers assistance, asking, “Anna, can you hear me?”
A recent video has surfaced depicting a violent assault on a crowded Miami Beach street, resulting in the death of one woman and leading to murder charges against another.
As the officers arrive, a group of witnesses huddles around, eager to provide their account of the event. They begin explaining what they saw, hoping to shed light on the situation for the officers.
Upon arrival, rescue workers immediately attended to Mathis, providing him with the necessary assistance. The victim was then swiftly transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was diagnosed with fractured ribs, a fractured sternum, and a severe brain bleed described as “catastrophic” in the arrest report.
According to the report, Mathis had to be intubated when her health deteriorated. She wasn’t breathing on her own until her condition worsened, and on June 29, she was declared brain dead with no hope of recovery.
The arrest report reveals that witnesses stated Mathis had tugged on a necklace that Williams was wearing, which caused Williams to become agitated and pursue Mathis.
According to the report, Williams walked away from the scene after a male bystander pushed him away from the victim.
Mathis’ death led to the upgrading of Williams’ charge from aggravated battery to second-degree murder during his arrest.
