Hays County Grand Jury issued a “no-bill” this week in the arson causing death case against Jacobe Ferguson, according to District Attorney Kelly Higgins. Ferguson had been accused of starting the 2018 fire at the Iconic Village apartments in San Marcos. A no-bill means that a grand jury did not find sufficient evidence to issue an indictment against a person accused of a felony in Texas.
The Grand Jury met several times over the course of two months and diligently considered the evidence related to the arson investigation. Following the presentation, the Grand Jury issued a no-bill that stated that they “failed to find a bill of indictment against the accused” and that they “encourage law enforcement to continue this investigation.”
Criminal District Attorney Kelly Higgins pledged that his office would continue to work with law enforcement to ensure that the investigation into the fire continues.
