“Joshua Feast was fatally shot in the BACK by La Marque PD officer Jose Santos on Wednesday 12/9 as he was running away, posing no threat. Not only did witnesses report that Ofc. Santos failed to render aid to Joshua after shooting him, but he also kicked his body which had already been debilitated by Santos' bullet. Based on the eyewitness' account, it is our position that Santos' actions were criminal and derelict in duty as a first responder.

It is horrifying that another young Black man has been killed at the hands of law enforcement!

We demand that the Galveston County Sheriff's Office conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into exactly why this tragedy occurred and to immediately release the body camera footage that is being withheld. Joshua's family and the people of La Marque deserve answers now!”
