22-year-old homeless man fatally shot by San Marcos police officer found justified by grand jury, video released.
22-year-old Malachi Williams was fatally shot by a San Marcos police officer on April 11 after reportedly threatening people with knives. The officer's actions were found justified by a grand jury, according to Hays County District Attorney Kelly Higgins. Video footage from the body-worn camera of the officer involved, Alcides "Alex" Ventura, was eventually released, and Williams' family called for transparency and questioned why mental health services were not offered to Williams, who was homeless and struggling with mental health issues.
