Liberty, NM Shooting Exonerated by Coroner Jury
A Pickens County coroner's jury found Liberty officer Jack Stewart justified in the fatal shooting of Willie B. Tucker, a Black man, during a December 4 incident. Stewart testified he acted to protect a fellow officer as Tucker wrestled with James Brummitt and reportedly had Brummitt's pistol half out of its holster. Tucker, traveling with his family to Alabama, stopped at the Liberty police station about lodging and became angry when asked for a driver's license. The NAACP said it may seek federal investigation.
