The Los Angeles Times reports that the sister of L.A. Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard was arrested and charged with first degree murder and robbery.
Williams, along with another woman named Candace Townsel, reportedly robbed and beat down an 84-year old identified as Afaf Anis Assad at a Southern California casino on Aug. 31. According to a witness, the two women followed Assad to the bathroom and did the crime there. Assad passed away on Wednesday.
A relative of Kawhi Leonard reportedly confirmed that Williams, 38, is indeed the sister of the two-time Finals MVP. According to the report, Williams is currently being held without bail at Indio Jail after her bail was initially set at $1-million.
While Leonard wasn't involved in the crime at all, this certainly isn't a good look for him.

Leonard previously led the Toronto Raptors to their first NBA championship last season. After getting the job done for Toronto, Leonard made the boss move of leaving town – and the country – and went back to his hometown of Los Angeles by signing with the L.A. Clippers this past summer.
The two-time Defensive Player of the Year signed a three-year, $103-million contract with the Clippers, with a player option in year three. Leonard also got fellow L.A. native Paul George to join him with the Clips.
George requested for a trade from Oklahoma City after inking a four-year deal last summer. With these two two-way superstars on-board, the Clippers have high hopes for the 2019-20 season.
