John Pearson, 38, was found dead December 11, 2021, in Pflugerville, Texas, shot multiple times inside a vehicle parked outside a Walnut Street home. The shooting followed a dispute over allegedly stolen property after Joshua Dry approached Thomas Jackert’s home holding Jackert’s dog and pointing a gun while demanding the return of IDs and a passport.

Jackert drew a 9 mm from a shoulder holster and fired three times at Pearson while he was still in the truck; the truck then crossed the street and struck a house. Jackert and Dry exchanged gunfire, and Dry suffered a gunshot wound to his left shoulder. Jackert’s dog was also shot and killed.

Police say all parties knew each other. Jackert maintained he shot after being threatened along with his dog; Dry said Jackert had stolen his property and that Dry had not threatened anyone. Both Jackert, 41, and Dry, 36, were taken into custody and held at the Travis County Jail with bail set at $50,000 each.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw the truck, the exchange of shots, or anyone arriving or leaving Walnut Street that night?
