Bill Jackson

Deadly force

Selma Police Department officer Dwight Moorer Jr. was off duty when he killed his ex-girlfriend's father, Bill Jackson, and his ex-girlfriend Keoshia L. Hill before turning the gun on himself. In a civil case filed by survivors of Jackson and Hill, it was revealed that Moorer, a combat veteran, suffered from PTSD. Domestic violence between Moorer and his girlfriend had been escalating in the months before the murder/suicide and Moorer admitted to police that he had assaulted his then-girlfriend. Moorer was not charged and his ex-girlfriend did not file a protective order. Selma and the police department were cleared of any wrongdoing because Moorer was off duty at the time.
