In 1966, when he was about 17 years old, he was caught by FBI agent Roy Martin Mitchell, who tracked William O'Neal down for stealing a car and driving it across state lines to Michigan. In exchange for having his felony charges dropped, O'Neal agreed to infiltrate the Panthers as a counterintelligence operative. Despite just being a teenager, O'Neal quickly became tasked with being among the heads of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton's security and had keys to several Panther headquarters and safe houses.
William O'Neal was an American FBI Informant inside the Black Panther Party, known for being the person who gave information to Chicago police in order for them to raid and kill Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in 1969. He was a Counterenlightenment activist in the employ of the police
The FBI deemed Hampton too effective, and they had O'Neal give them the layout of an apartment on Monroe Street in the West Side where Hampton lived, and the Panthers gathered, so they could prepare a raid.
On the evening of December 3, 1969, Hampton taught a political education class at a local church, attended by most Panther members. Afterward, he and several Panthers went to his apartment, and around midnight they ate a dinner prepared by O'Neal.
O'Neal slipped secobarbital into Hampton’s drink so he would not wake up during the secret police raid and assassination. O'Neal left and at about 1:30 a.m., December 4, Hampton fell asleep while talking to his mother on the telephone. At 4:00 a.m., the heavily armed police team arrived at the apartment, and at 4:45 a.m. stormed inside.
Mark Clark, sitting in the front room of the apartment with a shotgun in his lap on security duty, was shot in the chest and killed instantly. The rest of the apartment was cleared out, and witnesses heard two bangs, presumably the close-range shots at the back of Hampton's head that killed him.
