Williams, 26, from London, d!ed after being assaulted in the early hours of Sunday, November 1, on Midsummer Boulevard. He succumbed to his injuries in hospital on Monday, prompting detectives from Thames Valley Police to launch a m¥rder investigation.
Two men, aged 21 and 28, both from Luton, were arrested on suspicion of m¥rder, while another 30-year-old man, also from Luton, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. All three suspects remain in police custody.
Kettering Town FC, where Williams played during the 2024/2025 season, paid tribute to him following his sudden d£ath, describing him as a “talented, kind, and truly inspirational individual”.
The club recalled his leadership qualities and humble attitude, which made him a popular member of the dressing room.
In its tribute, the club said: “Ezekiel showed great leadership qualities from the get-go at his time here, and his humble approach made him a highly popular member of the dressing room.
“He was a talented, kind, and a truly inspirational individual who had his faith at the forefront of his heart, and this led him to be the wonderful young man that he was, someone whose warmth touched everyone lucky enough to know him, and whose example will continue to inspire us long after today.”
The club also disclosed that a GoFundMe campaign had been established in his memory, adding that he would be “sadly missed” by the football community.
Detective Inspector Rob Underhill expressed condolences to Williams' family and loved ones, saying specially trained family liaison officers were supporting them following the loss.
He confirmed that three arrests had been made and said police did not believe there was any wider risk to the local community.
