Moreover, his father revealed some more heartbreaking details of the case. And that’s where he confirmed how his son would want his shooter to know that he already forgave him.
20-year-old Ethan Williams was a hardworking college student that came from Indianapolis. Meanwhile, the traveling enthusiast was on a dream trip to New York.

The teen was a very giving person in general. He spent most of his life doing plenty of missionary work. From helping various charity organizations to orphanages in Rwanda, this young man did it all. And at such a young age, you’d probably never see such a selfless man ever.
At the same time, he also started an LGBTQ club during his high school years. However, it’s interesting to note that this man wasn’t gay. Still, he chose to stand up for the minorities.
“It’s hard to express how he loved everybody.” Hence, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that he didn’t know any strangers.
