Williams was born in New Orleans December 29, 1953. Move to Los Angeles at a young age where he had to learn fast how to fight and defend himself, as the new kid on the block he was forced to fight and knock people unconscious. He was toughened up from the horrors he seen in the streets and from his mother. Grew up around drug dealers, murderers, hustlers and pimps. he rarely attended school, believing he was dys-educated, a term he used to describe the impaired and diseased knowledge he learned in school and the streets. Made friends fighting, one of them was Raymond Washington. They formed an alliance known as the "crips". Started out small but became to large to control. The division caused both of their downfalls. In 1979 Washington was shot and killed. Was Blamed on the Faction "Hoover Crips", but no one was ever arrested. They believed he knew his killer. The same year Williams robbed a convenient store, shot the camera out, and shot the clerk with two shots, execution style, in the back, he later denied it. The same year it was said that he broke in a motel and killed three of the owner. That was also denied. Was Convicted on life chargers and put on death row. Later on in life he tried to ring unity to gangs while in jail. Was later put to death by leathal injection.
Tookie Williams helped start the crips and is now dead, but tried to change his mistakes, everybody makes
them but he wasn't given a second chance, and is now laid to rest.
