A week after charges were dropped against the officer, the Hays County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday released body camera footage from a corrections officer who shot and killed an inmate at a Kyle hospital in 2022. Joshua Wright , 36, was an inmate at the Hays County Jail and was receiving treatment at Ascension Seton Hays Hospital when he was killed in December 2022. Hays County officials said Wright shoved Isaiah Garcia , who was assigned to guard him, and tried to escape.
Charge dropped against former Hays officer in inmate’s shooting death Wright, whose feet are shackled together, stands up and begins moving again before falling a second time. The video, which lasts 1 minute and 14 seconds, has no sound for the first 55 seconds. The sheriff’s office said that was due to the camera’s hardware and software. The audio at the end of the video captures Garcia telling Wright to “get on your stomach” three times as he lies on his side.
Family of man killed by San Marcos police calls for release of video “The reasons offered by the family for their request were carefully considered and, ultimately, found to be persuasive,” Higgins said. “We have chosen to respect the family’s privacy and will offer no additional discussion of those reasons.” The Hays County Sheriff's Office said it decided to release the footage because of the dismissal.
