The man who is charged with arson causing bodily injury/death, a first degree felony, in connection to the Iconic Village apartment fire in July 2018 that killed five and injured others, including one critically, will be released on personal bond, according to the Hays County District Attorney’s Office.
Jacobe De Leon O’Shea Ferguson, 30, is currently being held in an out of the county facility, pending release on the personal bond, according to Hays County Jail and Criminal Case records. The attorney on file for Ferguson in those records, a staff member listed with the Texas office of the Neighborhood Defender Service, had not responded to a request by the Daily Record for a comment regarding Ferguson’s release at time of press Thursday.
“Our office has agreed to Mr. Ferguson’s release on a personal bond,” Hays County District Attorney Kelly Higgins stated, in an email response provided Thursday to the Daily Record, following a request for clarification of Ferguson’s bond status.
