LIBERTY HILL, Texas - Family members of a 21-year-old who was shot and killed by a Liberty Hill police officer want answers. They said they’ve been left in the dark and want to know what happened more than a week ago.

"They want to know what happened to their son, they want to know why this happened to their son, they want to know what happened at the scene, they want to know why it took more than 7 hours to be notified after the police officer killed their son, they want to know where their son’s cell phone is because it’s nowhere to be found," the family’s lawyer, Robert Ranco, said.

On January 18, 21-year-old Jackson Thomas Lieber of Georgetown drove off the road and crashed into the front yard of a private home in Liberty Hill.

"And the subject wandered onto that property," Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Deon Cockrell said.

Officials said a fight broke out involving several family members. Liberty Hill police responded, were told Lieber was trespassing and refusing to leave the property, and an officer shot Lieber. He died at a nearby hospital. The family’s lawyer said that’s all the family knows at this point.


"The people who did the act are the only ones who have access to the investigation, the only ones who have access to the information and in this case, even more than most, they are completely unwilling to share any of it," Ranco said.

The Texas Rangers are investigating and Ranco said they’ve been told they may not see pictures or videos of the incident for months.

"That is unacceptable,’ Ranco said. ‘It’s about courtesy, it’s about transparency, it’s about protecting and serving which clearly someone forgot to do for Jackson Lieber."

Why did the police kill this young man?

Why aren't folks outraged that this 21yr olds life was taken.

Maybe Horse Lighting can tell us why, since she is always up on the local police shootings.
 
Sooner or later we have to get to the point where police are not expected to be those who investigate the police.

Liberty Hill is my way! Lucky he was exterminated by the homeowners.
 
We need common sense car control laws now!
This young black man would be alive today if we just passed some more car control laws...
 
Another sad story but Americans still want answers about Ashli Babbitt.
We know exactly what happened to Babbitt, we know she was murdered by a known racist black cop who hated white people along with the lawful president, short of the American people marching upon capital police headquarters and taking that murderer into their possession and meting out justice upon him, you will never ever see anything beyond fascist sociopaths lionizing that murderer!

Regarding OP's position, we need more data on this fatal shooting, I doubt the deceased was either a decent member of society, or unlawfully shot, nonetheless I will maintain open mind until bodycam video is released...

The same reason the police killed Ashli Babbitt.

You didn't care about that...

...so I don't care about this.

Wasn't Ashlli breaking the law at the time she was killed by an officer doing his job. I know you don't care, as long as, the police are murdering young black men. This cat was white.

Long before Babbitt was killed people were kneeling over needless police deaths. They were called SOB's.

While I said I saw no reason Babbitt should have been shot you have your timeline all wrong.
 
Resisting arrest is also breaking the law. Glad we got that cleared up.

Breonna Taylor was not resisting arrest. Andre Hill was not resisting arrest.

We have seen where the police claimed someone was resisting arrest and the video shows something different.

People kneeled to address this. They were called SOB's.
