Court records show the pair had a long history of domestic violence.
A longtime colleague of Valentin was at Williams’ court appearance Thursday.
Ephriam Anderson said he’s fighting for justice for his friend. “It’s never going to feel the same. You can never and you will never be able to replace this,” he said.
