On April 26, 2025, my best friend Lauren's fiancé, Armonte Williams, committed suicide in their home in Chandler at approximately 2:30 AM.

After hours of police and SWAT trying to coerce him to come out or let law enforcement come inside to help him, he decided to take his own life.

Unfortunately, Lauren had to come home and walk into a tragic mess left by law enforcement to clean up, and I'm sure those images will remain with her.

Armonte suffered from severe major depression and PTSD that he hid so well from others. Armonte was the perfect gentleman and very much wanted to take care of Lauren and her daughter. He was a very loving and caring person.

Armonte will be deeply missed by family, friends, coworkers, and all who knew him.

There has been a lot of damage to Lauren's home and her daughter’s car from SWAT and police forceful entrance. She has applied for reimbursement from MCSO, but that seems like it will not go through.

I am asking for any help to get these things paid for as she has had to take some time off of work to help handle funeral arrangements, etc.

Lauren has also started grief counseling, which may result in missing time from work. I just want to help alleviate some of the financial burdens that will come with her loss.

Every donation, big or small, will be a very big help for her.

Thank you so much for all you do.
