James Howard Jackson, 19, one of three men charged in the shooting and robbery of Ryan Fischer, was accidentally freed after a court appearance on Wednesday when records showed the charges against him were dropped, sources told NBC News.
He was released “due to a clerical error,” according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
“The investigation is continuing and the LASD Major Crimes Bureau is actively working to get Mr. Jackson back in custody,” reads the statement, which describes Jackson’s release as “inadvertent.”
Jackson is accused of shooting Fischer on Feb. 24, 2021, while Fischer was walking Gaga’s three French bulldogs.
