HOUSTON, Texas – The woman accused of failing to provide help to her eight-year-old son who was abused and killed by his partner will likely be sentenced Tuesday.

In October, Gloria Williams pleaded guilty to two counts of injury to a child in connection with the death of his son, Kendrick Lee.

The case dates back to Oct. 24, 2021, when Lee’s older brother, who was 15 at the time, called 911 and told the operator that his brother had been dead in his apartment for more than a year. When Harris County deputies arrived at the home at 3535 Green Crest, they found Kendrick’s three siblings (ages 15, 10 and 7) in horrific conditions and found Kendrick’s decomposing body.

The children told investigators and testified again in court that Williams’ partner, Brian Coulter, beat Kendrick to death and continued to punch and kick him even when he no longer moved.

The 7-year-old boy said he stared at his older brother’s face while Coulter kicked and hit him and that at some point during the beating, Kendrick stopped blinking.

Kendrick’s cause of death was homicidal violence.. The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences said he suffered multiple blunt force injuries.

After that beating, the brothers were left alone in the apartment for months with Kendrick’s body decomposing in another room.

Coulter was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder. The judge called the case. One of the most horrible cases I have ever heard.

Williams was accused of knowing about Coulter’s abuse of her children and failing to intervene. She is also accused of failing to provide food or medical care to Kendrick before he was beaten to death.

Williams is scheduled to be sentenced on November 11.
