 Smith tells CNN Kamala Harris would make the most sense as the Democratic nominee. The inquest into the death of Malik Williams is underway. The 23-year-old paraplegic man was shot by Federal Way police in 2019. Police said that at the time they were called to the Southridge House apartments because Williams was arguing with a woman in a car in a parking lot. In 2020, Kamala Harris asked Commander David Liebman, spokesperson for the investigative team, if police knew Williams could not walk.
