Supporters marched to demand justice after 22-year-old Joshua Feast was shot and killed by a La Marque police officer, according to authorities.
The officer s name, Jose Santos, was released, but not without hesitation by city leaders. La Marque PD Chief Kirk Jackson became contentious over questions about the officer s age and race, let alone his name, which the chief and Mayor Pro-tem Keith Bell refused to answer. This was despite police immediately identifying Feast as Black.
According to Jackson, the information on Santos was subject to approval by the Galveston County Sheriff s Office, which is leading the investigation.
Jackson also confirmed there was body camera footage of the confrontation, to which he said will be released to the public following the investigation. This is the same footage that Crump and Feast s family wants released immediately.
