OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On February 24, 2025, at approximately 8:50 p.m., 34-year-old Jarmar Brooks was fatally shot by a San Jacinto County Sheriff's deputy at HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood in Houston, Texas. Brooks, who had been arrested the previous night on multiple felony charges, including aggravated family violence assault, was receiving medical treatment before being booked into the San Jacinto County Jail. While under the deputy's supervision in the hospital room, Brooks, handcuffed at the wrists and with leg restraints, requested the deputy to loosen his leg restraints. As the deputy attempted to adjust the restraints, Brooks reportedly grabbed the deputy's vest collar, leading to a physical altercation. During the struggle, the deputy discharged his firearm multiple times, striking Brooks. Despite immediate medical attention, Brooks succumbed to his injuries. The Houston Police Department's Homicide Division and the Texas Rangers are conducting parallel investigations into the incident.
