Photojournalist Aaron Marckell Williams was killed in a crosswalk as the result of a police chase over a traffic violation. DC local law had made such chases illegal - House Republicans voted to overturn that law last year.

Facebook screenshot of a post from DMV News Now with a picture of Williams smiling.

"A DC photojournalist was run over and killed by a suspect fleeing from police near The White House in downtown Washington DC.

26 year-old Aaron Marckell Williams had been struck while crossing in the crosswalk at 16th Street and L Street NW Wednesday afternoon.

It was later revealed that DC Police had attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the suspect, 20 year-old Santana Matthews, before he ran a red light and killed Williams. Matthews has now been charged with Second Degree Murder.

Williams was a photojournalist for the Washington Informer and was heading to a nearby church to take photos for a story.

“We are heartbroken over the loss of Marckell Williams — a talented photographer, storyteller, and beautiful soul who was once part of the Washington Informer family,” the statement from @washinformer reads. “His passion for capturing people, culture, and truth will never be forgotten.”"
