New Bodycam Released La Marque Police Department Fatally Shoot Man In The Back As He Is Running Away Police said victim Joshua Feast had been named a person of interest in shootings in La Marque. Feast had two outstanding felony warrants, including felon in possession of a firearm and felony evading arrest, police said. Investigators said on the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020, surveillance video identified who police believed to be Feast. Police said around 11:10 p.m., Officer Jose Santos was dispatched to see if Feast was near a residence on Pirtle Street and attempted to arrest him on the outstanding warrants. Upon arrival, investigators said Officer Santos saw a person believed to be Feast leaning into the passenger side of a vehicle. Police said Santos exited his patrol vehicle, called out to Feast, and observed that Feast was holding a handgun. Santos said Feast abruptly turned towards him. Investigators said Santos then discharged one round from his pistol. Feast was shot in his back, officers said. “We know our community has questions,” said La Marque Police Chief Kirk Jackson. “We are releasing information as soon as we are able while maintaining the integrity of the investigation and complying with our legal obligations. We ask for continued patience as the investigation unfolds. Our condolences, thoughts and prayers remain with the family and friends of Joshua Feast.” According to the La Marque Police Department, no employment action can be taken against any officer in an officer-involved-shooting, or under any other circumstances, until all investigations are complete. “There have been calls from the community for the immediate termination of Officer Santos,” said La Marque City Manager Tink Jackson. “If we were to take an employment action on any officer in an officer-involved shooting, or to even begin the administrative investigation before the Sheriff’s Office investigation is complete, we could jeopardize the criminal investigation. There is a manner and process in which any personnel actions must be taken, so they comply with the law. That takes time. We ask for your continued patience.” https://youtu.be/suEAHTXwD5k Police Activity Daily is Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for fair use.
