“The loss of William was tremendous, but it was not without something good,” said Dawn White-Fosdick, CEO of Christian Assistance Ministry, where people receive free groceries, clothing, and connections to financial and housing resources. “[Rome] started asking for help.” At the time, Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales issued a statement: “Because this case may be the subject of further review or investigation, we can make no further comment on it.”
Adam Harris, William’s younger brother, said his family was told by police to “trust the legal process, because that’s where you’ll find justice.”
