UPDATE: Body camera footage has just been released by the Texas Department of Public Safety, showing the dramatic pursuit and arrest of Keryan Rashad Jones, the man accused in a deadly shooting at the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino in Eagle Pass last year. The incident, which unfolded on September 27, 2025, resulted in two fatalities and five injuries, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
The footage, just under two minutes long, begins with a DPS trooper exiting a patrol vehicle and drawing his weapon on a black Nissan truck, believed to be linked to the shooting. The vehicle, identified as a Nissan Frontier, fled the scene, prompting a high-speed pursuit that ended in Wilson County, approximately 170 miles from the casino.
Authorities confirmed that the pursuit was initiated after an attempted traffic stop near a Circle K convenience store. The video captures the intense moment when the trooper collides with Jones’ vehicle, escalating the confrontation. As the scene unfolds, Jones can be heard exclaiming, “I got the weapon. I got the weapon. Kill me,” while holding a rifle aloft. DPS troopers repeatedly command him to “drop the rifle” before he surrenders and lies on the ground.
Through a combination of a precision immobilization technique and Taser deployment, Jones was apprehended and subsequently charged with multiple serious offenses, including murder and capital murder of multiple persons. Official records indicate that Jones was indicted on December 2, 2025, following the tragic events at the casino.
The court proceedings have been equally dramatic. On January 7, 2026, Jones appeared in court, pleading not guilty to the charges. His defense team has requested a competency examination, despite the district attorney arguing that Jones’ outgoing prison calls demonstrate his competency. A judge has granted this request, adding another layer of complexity to the case.
The shooting claimed the lives of Marcus Antley, a retired U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent, and Alicia Sanchez, a resident of Dimmit County. Their tragic deaths have left a profound impact on the community, bringing to light issues of public safety and the need for accountability.
As the legal proceedings unfold, Jones’ bail has been increased from $4.5 million to $5.1 million due to the new charges. The public is urged to stay tuned for further developments in this ongoing case, as the implications of this tragic shooting continue to resonate.
The release of this body camera footage marks a critical moment in the investigation, revealing behind-the-scenes details of law enforcement’s response to a situation that shocked the local community and raised significant concerns about safety at public venues.
