A man called authorities to report that Wilkinson threatened people with a firearm. Deputy Johnny Joe Valderaz responded, fatally shooting Wilkerson. Wilkerson's family said that Wilkerson, disabled by Parkinson's disease, would not have drawn a gun on a deputy, though he was guilty of multiple misdemeanors. Deputy Valderaz was earlier acquitted of aggravated assault, though District Attorney Bobby Bland expressed personal dislike for the defendant.
