Inmate in Travis County, Texas Jail Dies

2012 09 18 18.41.59 scaled

The Travis County Sheriff Department filed a custodial death report with the Attorney General of Texas regarding the death of Naquan Jamar Carter.  Mr. Carter was only 23 years old at the time of his death.  We make no allegation that anyone did anything wrong, but instead are simply providing information in this post obtained from that report.

Mr. Carter entered the jail facility on November 12, 2017, and the report indicates that he had exhibited mental health problems.  On July 24, 2018, Mr. Carter was found in his cell unresponsive.  Life-saving efforts were ineffective, and Mr. Carter was pronounced deceased the same day.  The Texas Rangers are very likely investigating the incident, as is customary when an inmate dies in custody in Texas.
