Louisiana letter carrier killed on his route

NALC is deeply saddened to learn that letter carrier Antonio Williams, a Shreveport, LA Branch 197 member, was shot and killed while delivering his route on Saturday, June 22.

"On behalf of the NALC, we mourn the loss of Brother Williams," NALC President Fredric Rolando said. "A father of eight and grandfather of 13 who would have turned 53 years old on Friday, June 28, Antonio was a dedicated carrier for the past 12 years. He loved his craft and served his customers well. The senseless nature of his death makes it even more heartbreaking. We send our thoughts and prayers to Antonio’s family and loved ones.”
