At Rest

Deadly force
A woman complained to 911 that her boyfriend struck her at her house. Deputy Theodore Ramsey and Austin Police Department Officer Justin Berry responded. Officer Berry knocked on the door of the house. James stepped out of the house and pointed a pistol at him. Officer Berry shot at James with a pistol and missed. Deputy Ramsey shot James fatally with a shotgun. James was not named in the Texas Custodial Deaths Report on Feb. 12, 2016.
This record exists so that Roger Tyrone James, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
