Travis County District Attorney

In a letter to the city, District Attorney José Garza and County Attorney Delia Garza accused officers of not doing their jobs in protest of county policies aimed at reducing jail bookings for low-level offenses.

Las autoridades han emitido una orden de aprehensión contra de De'ondre Jermirris White por el tiroteo de la Calle Sexta que dejó a un hombre muerto y por lo menos a doce heridos el 12 de junio. La policía de Austin dice que entrevistas con testigos y evidencia balística señala a White como el principal sospechoso en el homicidio de Douglas Kantor de 25 años.

The suit accused APD and Travis County of failing to investigate and prosecute sexual assault cases. Travis County settled the case for an undisclosed amount Tuesday.

An arrest warrant has been issued for De’ondre Jermirris White in the East Sixth Street shooting that left a man dead and injured at lease a dozen others on June 12. Austin police said eyewitness accounts and ballistic evidence link White to the murder of 25-year-old Douglas Kantor.

Alex Gonzales Jr. was fatally shot by Austin police officers in January. Garrett Foster was killed during a rally against police violence last summer. Both families called for arrests of the men accused of their shootings.

Newly minted Travis County District Attorney José Garza also laid out plans to pursue 21 other cases involving police shootings, deaths in custody, use-of-force and an accusation of sexual assault.

Erin Martinson will oversee cases involving sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse. Garza said he chose her for her decades-long experience working with victims.
