A Tarrant County jury will continue to deliberate on Friday in the sentencing for a Fort Worth man who shot a Tarrant County sheriff’s deputy while he was working an off-duty security job. Leland Williams pleaded guilty earlier this week to Aggravated Assault Against a Public Servant. Juror s spent hours in the deliberation room Thursday weighing in on whether Williams should spend life behind bars or a lesser sentence in connection with a shooting involving Tarrant County Sheriff’s Deputy Brent Brown two years ago. Investigators say in November 2023, Williams pulled a gun on a teller at a Fort Worth Community Credit Union before firing four shots at Brown, hitting him twice then taking off. Brown was working an off-duty security job at the time and returned fire. Williams was later arrested at his mother’s house in Fort Worth. Deputy Brown watched on during closing arguments in court. His attorneys are urging jurors to send the right message that Tarrant County does not tolerate violence against law enforcement. Williams’ attorneys told the jurors he deserves to serve some time behind bars but should not face a life sentence based only on the “worst day of his life.”  Deputy Brown has been back on the job in the warrant division for a year.
