HAYS COUNTY GRAND JURY CLEARS SMPD OFFICER IN FATAL SHOOTING
By Natalie Frels • 14 Aug, 2024
SAN MARCOS, Texas – The office of Hays County Criminal District Attorney Kelly
Higgins announced today that a Hays County Grand Jury concluded its review of
the April 11, 2024, shooting in which a San Marcos Police officer fatally shot
22-year-old Malachi Williams. The shooting occurred on April 11, 2024, in the
parking lot of the H-E-B grocery store at 641 E. Hopkins in San Marcos. The
Grand Jury considered the evidence and determined that the officer’s actions
were justified under Texas law. No indictment was issued in the matter. As part
of its review, the Grand Jury received evidence regarding a separate incident
that had occurred approximately an hour prior to the shooting. In that incident,
Malachi Williams had been waiting outside of a Snax Max convenience store on
Hopkins and followed two men who had left the store as they walked home in the
dark. The men reported that Williams followed very closely behind them and that
his behavior made them uncomfortable. After they had been followed for a couple
of blocks, they confronted Williams and he produced two large knives, one in
each hand, and threatened them. They immediately called police to report what
had happened. SMPD officers responded and initiated an investigation for
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. After speaking with the two men,
officers began searching the area for Williams. At approximately 10:35 p.m.,
Williams returned to the Snax Max store and went into a restroom at the back of
the store. A SMPD officer arrived less than one minute later and waited near the
front door until Williams came out. That officer had interviewed the victims of
the earlier incident and was aware that Williams may have been armed with
multiple knives. At that point, the officer asked Williams to step outside.
During the encounter, Williams ignored the officer’s repeated commands to turn
around and put his hands behind his back. After exiting the store, Williams
continued ignoring the officer’s commands and, instead, turned and ran. He was
pursued by multiple officers. The officer attempted to deploy his taser twice
while running and both attempts missed. During the pursuit, the officer noticed
that Williams was running with the knives in his hands. After running to the
northwest along Hopkins, Williams cut through a parking lot and headed directly
toward the H-E-B, which was open at the time. After they entered the parking lot
of the grocery store, the officer shot Williams, striking him twice. Despite
attempts at life saving measures, he did not survive. The Texas Rangers
conducted the investigation into the shooting with the assistance of the San
Marcos Police Department. “The Hays County Criminal District Attorney’s Office
presented the results of the investigation to the Grand Jury,” said Higgins.
“After hearing the evidence, the Grand Jury determined that the conduct of the
officers was justified under the law and voted not to indict. This matter is now
closed.” He added, “We are saddened by the loss of life, but the actions of Mr.
Williams posed a threat to public safety. This officer was forced to make a
difficult decision in order to protect the public.”
KYLE MAN SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS IN PRISON
By natalie frels • 14 Aug, 2024
SAN MARCOS, Texas – The office of Hays County Criminal District Attorney Kelly
Higgins announced today that 45-year-old Josh Devereaux Jarratt of Kyle entered
a plea of guilty to the offense of continuous sexual abuse of a child and was
sentenced to 40 years in prison on August 12, 2024. Jarratt also pleaded guilty
to two counts of indency with a child by contact, one count of indency with a
child by exposure and 30 counts of possession of child pornography. He will not
be eligible for parole and must serve the full 40-year sentence due to the
conviction of continuous sexual abuse of a child. Over the course of several
years, Jarratt sexually abused a child in his home. In 2021 that child outcried
to a friend and that outcry led to an investigation into Jarratt by the Hays
County Sheriff's Office. The child victim also provided information to
detectives that Jarratt possessed child pornography. A search warrant was
obtained for Jarratt's home and detectives found multiple computers and
electronic devices that contained more than 1,000 videos and images of child
pornography. During the search of Jarratt's electronic devices, detectives also
found multiple explicit videos and photos that Jarratt took of a child. A
child-sized sex doll was also located in his bedroom closet. Hays County
Assistant Criminal District Attorneys Miranda Ebersole and Daniel Sakaida
prosecuted this case. The Hays County Sheriff's Office investigated the case,
and the prosecutors would like to express their appreciation for Jennifer Baker
and Det. Nelson Wray for their extensive work on this case. ###
US 290 AT TRAUTWEIN ROAD REOPENS TO TRAFFIC
By natalie frels • 07 Aug, 2024
HAYS COUNTY, Texas – After beginning construction in February 2024, the detour
at US 290 and Trautwein Road will be removed and Trautwein Road will be open to
traffic starting today, August 5, 2024. Motorists can expect traffic patterns to
return to normal, with the right turn lane from westbound US 290 to Trautwein
Road open as well. Hays County, in partnership with the Texas Department of
Transportation, planned improvements to Trautwein Road at the intersection of US
290 to increase visibility and safety for travelers. During construction,
Trautwein Road was closed to through traffic and a detour was set in place.
Improvements included in this project are: Lowering Trautwein Road at US 290 to
improve visibility Adding a dedicated right turn lane from westbound US 290 to
Trautwein Road Adding retaining walls to Trautwein Road Improving intersection
signal on US 290 Hays County Commissioner Walt Smith, who championed this
transformative project, proudly shared, “This project has been a passion of mine
since taking office in 2019. The intersection has had numerous safety concerns
and major accidents for years. I’m proud that by proactively partnering with
TxDOT, we delivered this project on budget and on time while improving safety
for all our residents.” For more information on the project, visit
