Demetria Jackson And Herman Mason III Died: What Happened?
On the night of Saturday, August 19th, around 11:59 PM, officers from the Manor Police Department swiftly responded to a distress call originating from the 12000 block of Riparian Rd. The caller reported hearing gunshots fired at their residence. Upon their arrival, the officers discovered a female individual named Demetria Jackson outside the premises, visibly bearing signs of severe bodily trauma. Tragically, she was later declared deceased.
In order to ensure the safety of everyone involved, the officers at the scene took immediate action to evacuate the residence due to the potential presence of an armed suspect inside. Collaborating with deputies from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, they meticulously entered the residence. Inside, they located a male identified as Herman Mason III. He had an apparent gunshot wound and was subsequently pronounced deceased. Thankfully, no other individuals within the household sustained any harm.
The Victim Services team worked closely with the family members to arrange for the care of the children who were present in the home. The investigation remains ongoing, and detectives will continue their work throughout the morning hours. The authorities believe this incident to be an isolated occurrence, with no ongoing threat to the community. The Manor Police Department expresses its deepest sympathies to the grieving family and friends of those who have passed away.

Katrina Johnson is leading an effort to raise funds. On August 19, Demetria Jackson passed away. She was a cherished daughter, mother, sister, and friend who was loved deeply and will be greatly missed.
The donations received will be used for her funeral and to support her children’s future. We need your help to ensure that Xavier, Sydney, and Lauryn can achieve the dreams Demetria had for them. Xavier just began college, Sydney is in high school, and Lauryn is in middle school. Demetria kept them engaged in sports, gymnastics, dance, and band. Our aim is to keep them on the path Demetria envisioned.
Demetria was not just a friend but also a sister to me. I cared for her like family and will truly feel her absence. I’m working alongside her mother, Lizzie Jackson, to assist her children during this challenging time. As of now, $10,486 USD has been raised out of the $100,000 goal.
