HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Sgt. Garrett Hardin was found not guilty weeks after being indicted on a felony count in connection with the 2022 death of a robbery suspect.

The verdict came less than two weeks after the 20-year veteran of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office was indicted after a body camera captured him shooting a burglary suspect in the back of the head.

A grand jury returned an indictment against Sgt. Garrett Hardin, who was taken off the streets and put to work from the office since July 8, 2022incident that left 47-year-old Roderick Brooks dead.

Brooks’ family has since called for Hardin’s firing.

The whole incident happened with a 911 call that summer day last year when a Dollar General employee at the store near FM-1960 reported that someone had robbed the business and assaulted her.

Authorities identified Brooks as a suspect. Hardin responded and spotted Brooks near a gas station parking lot. Body camera footage shows Hardin chasing after him.

“Stop it, man. I’m going to shut you up! Stop it,” Hardin is heard saying in the footage. “Get on the ground! Get on the ground right now!”

Hardin then tackles Brooks to the ground and ends up on top of him with a Taser in sight and on the ground. Brooks then grabbed her.

“I’m going to shoot you. Put that down. I’m going to shoot you!” Hardin commands.

At one point, Brooks is seen removing his hand from the Taser, but then disappears from view.

Hardin fired a single shot into the back of the head, killing Brooks.

“The video clearly shows that this man shot Roderick Brooks in the back of the head without just cause,” said Justin Moore, the attorney for Brooks’ family. “I think when the jury saw this video, it was hard for them to walk away and not indict this man.”

Hardin’s attorney, Justin Keiter, said his client had no other choice because the suspect had his Taser.

An earlier report by Eyewitness News also revealed that Hardin was under investigation for using his stun gun on someone else on a bridge a week before Brooks’ death.
