Police say they were serving a search warrant at Livingston's home in January when his mother, 72-year-old  Geraldine Townsend, came out with a pellet gun that officers say looked like a real one.

She shot at officers and they shot and killed her.

Neighbors said Livingston is the "nicest guy" and she'd do anything she could to be here for him during this time.

Livingston's daughter said the family will hold a news conference Friday afternoon where the local NAACP president will speak.
