HAYS COUNTY, Texas — It's been a month and a half since 36-year-old Joshua Wright – an inmate at the Hays County Jail – was shot and killed by a Hays County corrections officer.
On Sunday, Wright's family and friends protested outside the Hays County Public Safety Building, as they are still searching for answers.
"I'd like the sheriff to be held accountable," said Chris Clark, Joshua Wright's brother. "I would like the ... jailer ... to be held accountable. And I would like for them to release the video."
The family is hoping the release of body camera footage the day Wright was killed gives them the answers they're looking for.
"We just want to know what our brother's last moments were," said Adrian Wrigh, Joshua Wright's sister. "What, what they look like. Was his you know, civil rights ... violated? What happened? What provoked this?"
A corrections officer shot and killed Wright at Seton Hospital in Kyle last month.
"He was shackled," Adrian Wright said. "My brother was shackled at the feet. My brother was not a small person. He was a large person. And as far as I know, how shackles work ... they're very restricting. And there could have been other ways that this could have been handled."
He was an inmate at the time, being held on a pre-trial detention for alleged unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Wright allegedly assaulted a corrections officer and tried to leave the emergency room. The family says an independent autopsy shows the officer shot Wright from behind.
"I am here today to ask for the video camera, the body cam, of that officer that took my son's life," said Beverly Wright, mother of Joshua Wright.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has taken up the case.
"He has shackles, his pants falling down, he's 300 pounds, moving away, and this police officer says, 'The only thing I can do is shoot him multiple times in the back,'" Crump said about the case.
In Sunday's protest, the family asked for transparency from local officials and to remember all the good moments with Joshua Wright.
"I'm going to miss him wrestling around with my kids ... and just being a good uncle to everybody," Clark said.
The Texas Rangers are investigating to determine whether criminal charges should be filed, which is standard in situations where an officer uses deadly force. Hays County officials said video of the incident won't be released until that investigation is finished.
The sheriff's office confirmed that the officer who shot Wright is back at work. He was on administrative leave for 10 days. The corrections officer will not be in the direct supervision of inmates until the investigation is complete.
