Body cam footage in fatal shooting of Joshua Wright won't be released until investigation complete

Amid calls for body camera  footage to be released following the fatal shooting of inmate Joshua Wright, Hays County said video footage would not be released until the Texas Rangers’ investigation is complete.

Hays County released a statement Friday stating that the Texas Rangers requested that body cam footage of the officer involved in the shooting along with any additional information related to the investigation not be released until the investigation is over.

“The immediate release of the body cam video and other information may adversely affect the Rangers’ ability to conduct and investigation by, among other things, impacting the recollections and statements of witnesses,” Hays County’s statement said.
