The bodies of Anthony Lee Williams Sr., 51, and his 10-year-old son, Hussan, were the apparent victims of a murder-suicide, said sheriff’s spokesman Les Garcia. They were found inside a car parked on a levee just outside of Tracy in Lathrop by a security guard during a routine check of the area farm land around 8 a.m.
When the security guard found Williams unresponsive, he called the county sheriff’s office. Deputies discovered that the man had died from a gunshot wound, as did his son, who was found in the backseat.
Garcia said the Patterson man and his wife had been going through a divorce, and the shooting is under investigation. Notification of the death was made to Williams’ wife earlier today.
The levee where the car was found is located in the middle of an orchard area adjacent to Dell’Osso Farms, near J.B. Farms Fruit Stand, off South Manthey Road.
I feel sad that boy lost his life. Life holds so much and it is a pity it ended so early in a terrible way.
William's Sr. family must be so ashamed and disgusted that their relative could do this to his child.
I cannot imagine the suffering Hussan's mother is going through. I hope one day she finds peace.

It is so sad that a parent would take the life of their innocent child in such an act of desperation. Make one wonder if there were any signs from Anthony that he could have been sucidal.I can't even imagine the terror this child felt while the one person he trusted took his life. It might sounds sick but I can only hope the child was asleep and didn't know what was going to happen. I don't know this family but I am sitting here in tears, my heart breaking for this precious child Hussan. My heart breaks for his mother, his family and friends. What drives any parent to such terrible acts is beyond me. R.I.P. Hussan,you are now safe in the arms of Jesus.
Very sad.
I tried again and a new article appeared (you are reading it right now!). In the previous article that said it was a murder/suicide case. I am totally glad they erased that from the article. The following is my comment I planned to put on the article they removed:
I think it is too soon to believe this is a murder/suicide case. Nowhere in the article said they located the gun. Both victims are dead from a gunshot, so where is the gun?
