Slaying in self-defense
A Grand Rapids man who shot and killed Jerry Curtis Williams Tuesday in a home on Oakdale Street SE has been released from jail after Kent County Prosecutor William Forsyth ruled the shooting was justifiable. Lawrence Price, 49, told police Williams threatened him, prompting him to shoot. Price was released from jail on Wednesday. Williams, 42, had a long record dating to 1984. It includes convictions for assault, assault with a weapon, burglary and larceny from a vehicle. He was sentenced to 1 to 5 years in prison in 1993 for larceny from a vehicle in Kent County, state records show. Price had convictions in 1994 and 1999 for use and possession of cocaine, state police records show.
