Two men attacked their mother's killer in dramatic courtroom scenes two years after her fatal shooting.

Convicted killer Dale Williams Sr., who murdered Elizabeth Pledger-Stewart, 46, in June 2017, was attacked by Jerome Stewart and Anthony Dees at his July 2019 sentencing hearing in Youngstown, Ohio.

In the dramatic scene, one of the sons, who was wearing blue jeans, can be seen being wrestled by law enforcement as he lunges over a table to attack the killer.

Stewart's other son then gets involved to help his brother as they decide to take the law into their own hands.

The men repeatedly hit Williams while attempting to fight off the officers trying to restrain them.

They continued to wrestle with law enforcement as they attacked the killer - stopping only when one of them is tasered by police.

Stewart and Dees were subsequently booked on charges of assault, obstructing official business, and contempt of court.

The attack took place just before a victim statement was scheduled to be read out.

Williams was subsequently taken to hospital for a check up and his sentencing was postponed.

As one of the Stewart's sons was being arrested, he said: "He killed my mamma. She took care of me bro."

The killer was attacked in dramatic scenes.

Williams killed his victim, who was his ex girlfriend, in broad daylight after he hunted her down and crashed into her car before proceeding to shoot her repeatedly.

Police apprehended him at the scene after he surrendered.

Williams, who pled guilty, was ultimately sentenced to 23 years behind bars for the murder.

He declined to make a statement when asked by the judge and seemingly had no reaction to his sentencing.

Janet Dees, Stewart's aunt, said that the family would never be the same again after the death.

The killer made no statement at his sentencing.

"How he just killed my niece, he shot her like she was an animal and he had no remorse. We are still heartbroken after two years and will be broken for the rest of our lives," Dees said.

Andre Elliott, a family friend, thanked the judge for her sentencing.

"We just want to thank Judge Sweeney for her not being lenient in this case. Dale [Williams] took away a wonderful woman, and he had no remorse. The man didn't even want to make a statement today," said Elliott.

He described Stewart as a 'loving person' and said her love will be missed by many.
