Who is NYPD shooting suspect Robert Williams?

Walking into the 41st Precinct casually in a purple and gold hoodie, police say Robert Williams fired at point-blank range at officers and civilians. Police said they are certain Williams is the same suspect behind the Saturday night Simpson Ave. shooting into a marked NYPD van with flashing lights.

Police say Williams was arrested for attempted murder in 2002 and released on parole in 2017. He is described as 'a career criminal.'
