13 Investigates dug into the alarmingly low bond amounts given to two men accused of killing an off-duty constable's deputy.
Both suspects arrested in the death of off-duty Harris County Constable Precinct 3 Deputy Omar Ursin were out on bond in connection with other murder charges.The 37-year-old deputy was shot and killed in Atascocita while driving home from picking up food for his family.
Countywide, defendants were released on bond in 61% of the 589 homicide charges filed last year, according to data from the Harris County Office of Justice and Safety. It's a percentage that's more than doubled since 2018. Womack's bond for the 2021 murder charge was set at $35,000. He violated conditions of that initial bond so it was raised to $75,000, but he bonded out again.Our investigation found Judges Martin and Glass both have slightly more defendants out on bond than the county average.
