Sheriff: Suspect Shot at Victims Over Go-Kart Dispute

SAN ANGELO, TX — An argument over a go-kart race led to an early morning altercation involving gunfire.

According to the Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office, around 3: 26 a.m. on Monday morning deputies were dispatched to the 2030 block of Copper Rock, for a report of shots fired.

When deputies arrived at the scene, the victim told them he had seen a white vehicle drive past his residence, turn around, and then stop near his driveway.

According to the victim, the suspect exited the vehicle and began yelling the victim’s name and began firing multiple gunshots toward the victim. The victim told deputies he feared for his life and returned the fire.

During the investigation, deputies identified the suspect at 37-year-old Dustin Ray Jackson. Deputies also learned that Jackson and the victim had an earlier altercation on Friday, June 5.
