In an April 26 legal tort claim, a precursor to a lawsuit, the family of Robert Liddell say deputies shot and killed Liddell during a wellness check. Deputies were called to Liddell’s home just after 6:30 p.m. after a neighbor went to knock on Liddell’s front door and noticed the door was partially open. Footage taken from the deputies’ body cameras shows deputies Jordi Herrera and Christopher Kleppe arrived at Liddell’s home on Kyrsten Terrace and entered through the front door.Warning: The content below may be disturbing to some viewers.
