HAYS COUNTY COURT

Devonte Amerson has had his charges dismissed without prejudice, which means that the charges could come back at a later date. Amerson was a defendant in the case related to the murder of 19 year-old Justin Gage in 2015. His codefendant Cyrus Gray had his charges dismissed in July of 2023.

According to Hays County documents, Amerson was arrested on March 5, 2018 and was released from jail in December of 2023. The original indictment from May of 2018, charged Amerson with Capital Murder, and the superseding indictment made on Dec. 11, 2024 charged him with Capital Murder, Murder, Aggravated Robbery and Burglary of a Habitation Intend Other Felony. Each charge was dismissed on April 29.
