SAN MARCOS POLICE DEPARTMENT
The city of San Marcos held a press conference at the San Marcos Police Department in which San Marcos Police Chief Stan Standridge showed bodyworn camera footage of the officer-involved shooting of Malachi Williams, 22, that occurred on April 11 of this year. Standridge released the name of the officer who fired the lethal shots, Alcides “Alex” Ventura. Ventura was issued a no-bill by a Grand Jury this week, which means there was no indictment. A press release from the District Attorney’s office previously stated that “the Grand Jury considered the evidence and determined that the officer’s actions were justified under Texas law.”
Williams' family, who spoke after the city’s press conference at a separate press conference held by Mano Amiga, continued to question the police account of the shooting as well as alleging the police could be covering up wrongdoing.
