SAN ANGELO, TX – The Texas Department of Public Safety has identified the man who was killed in an officer involved shooting in San Angelo.
DPS Trooper Justin Baker released the following statement:
While continuing to investigate the officer involved shooting which took place on the evening of January 24, 2020, the Texas Rangers have released the following information:
Scott Joseph Weber Jr., 27, of San Angelo, TX was identified as the individual who sustained fatal injuries during the incident.
This is an ongoing investigation, and no additional information is available at this time.
As we reported earlier, a Tom Green County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to make a traffic stop on a speeding vehicle just north of the city limits. The speeding vehicle did not stop and its driver led the deputy on a high speed chase through north San Angelo, San Angelo Police Department Spokeswoman Tracy Piatt-Fox said. During the pursuit, a Texas DPS trooper joined the chase. Piatt-Fox said the chase ended when the suspect vehicle collided with the DPS trooper’s car. The trooper was not injured.

PermalinkFirst of all, I'm not going to disrespect your friend or your family and I am sorry for your loss, but there are a few questions I have,questions I'm sure other readers have and questions you should be asking yourself. If your friend was the kind of person you are telling us about in your comment, then why do the law enforcement officials have a mug shot of him dressed in the orange jump suit? Why didn't your friend stop when the patrolman try to stop him for a traffic violation? Why did he try to run? Why did he try to avoid being caught? He most likely would still be alive if he had nothing to hide from the police. Those are the questions that I have after reading your comment. These questions are not to be taken as disrespect but one has to question " Why didn't he just stop and why did he feel like he needed to avoid being possibly arrested or even questioned by the law enforcement officers. It is a terrible tragedy when anyone loses their life , especially when he ... himself could have avoided this terrible tragedy.

PermalinkSeven felony cases in Tom Green County in the last 5 years. A real pillar of the community. What a shame he never received the outstanding young citizen award.

PermalinkDon't need more people that run from the police, drive at high rates of speed without consideration for others, and think that they can get away with anything they want here in San Angelo. You can say he was a good person Ms. Tucker, but it appears that he wasn't and is now no longer a burden to law enforcement.
