Ginger Bowden Madden, State Attorney for the 1st Judicial Circuit in and for Okaloosa County, has filed notice that her office will seek the death penalty for defendant Timothy Price-Williams II, 43, Madden has announced.

Price-Williams is charged with committing first-degree murder for allegedly shooting Hamilton on December 24, 2022.

“Every capital murder case must be evaluated on its own facts to determine if a reasonable jury made up of our citizens could unanimously sentence a defendant to death. It is the most serious penalty available under Florida law, and I approach this responsibility with great thoughtfulness, humility, and a sense of duty to the rule of law,” said Madden

“Defendant Timothy Price-William II’s attack and killing of Corporal Hamilton, while he was performing his duties as a law enforcement officer, was particularly merciless and cruel. My office will ask a jury to sentence him to death.”
