A year after Leo Williams (9) was fatally injured when a police rubber bullet struck his head on 31 July 2020, no one has yet been arrested.
Leo had been playing with friends inside a corrugated iron structure where he lives in St Helena Bay while a violent protest took place in the streets outside. A rubber bullet fired by police penetrated the structure and slammed into Leo’s head.

He was rushed to hospital, but doctors were unable to remove the rubber bullet as it was too close to his brain. Leo died on Monday, 17 August 2020. Doctors removed the rubber bullet during an autopsy.
