The Austin police officer who shot and killed Michael Ramos last year has been charged with first-degree murder, the Travis County District Attorney s Office announced Thursday morning. It is the first known murder indictment for an Austin police officer in a use of force incident, the office said.
A warrant had been issued Wednesday for the arrest of Christopher Taylor with a bond set for $100,000, TCSO spokesperson Kristen Dark confirmed to the Texas Tribune. Taylor turned himself into the Travis County Jail and was released on bond within about a half hour around midnight, Dark said Thursday. His indictment states he cannot hold employment with access to a firearm, and he cannot possess personal firearms. An Austin Police Department spokesperson said Thursday afternoon Taylor is on unpaid administrative leave and turned in his gun.
