Monmouth University Student Used Fake Gun in Hold Up

Keith Williams

Keith Williams, the 18 year old Monmouth University freshman football player arrested for the armed robbery that occurred on the West Long Branch campus last night, was wielding an imitation handgun that resembles a black semiautomatic handgun, according to Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni.

At approximately 9:17 p.m., on Tuesday November 1, 2016, Williams approached 2 female Monmouth University students who were walking on campus.

Wearing dark clothing and a mask, Williams demanded that the girls turn over their cellular telephones. The girls attempted to walk away and the individual produced what appeared to be a handgun and pointed it in their direction. The females then began to sprint in the opposite direction of the armed individual, who ultimately also fled the area without the cellphones or any other property.

Over 100 students, employees, and community members are expected to participate in the event, which begins on the front steps of Wilson Hall.  Participants will walk one mile within the campus.

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is the International Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault, and Gender Violence.  The walk is meant to provide a framework to bring awareness for all to stop rape, sexual assault, and gender violence.  The walk is open to all, but there is an emphasis on targeting men.  Men are encouraged to literally walk one mile in women’s high-heeled shoes to protest sexualized violence, and educate their communities.
