After the teen reunited with her parents, the family reached out to him to express their gratitude.

Uber caught wind of Williams’ story, and they gave him a shoutout on Twitter. They wrote: “Not all heroes wear capes thank you, Davante!”

A representative from the company later called Williams to praise him for his actions. They also asked for a receipt of the hotel room to reimburse him.
