Ex-deputy accused in motorcyclist's death may be linked to biker club, Harris County authorities say
— a slain motorcyclist and the former deputy accused of killing him — may be linked to motorcycle clubs, officials said.
Grant, 36, a former Houston-area law enforcement official, is charged with murder after a Jan. 27 shooting along an Interstate 45 feeder road that left Jesse Metzger, 32, dead in a Home Depot parking lot. After being shot, Metzger managed to find refuge in the parking lot and called a friend to report that he had been followed and attacked near Cypresswood Drive, Assistant District Attorney Amanda Benavides said in court.
Medical examiner officials found gunshot wounds in his arm and abdomen and ruled his death a homicide. “He has a lot of tattoos,” Wells said. “It’s not anything different than I see all the time down here with people charged with crimes. It’s not anything out of the ordinary. He just has a lot of tattoos.”Motorcyclists talk about why deaths are up in Houston.
