Connor Hilton Murder Case: New Details Revealed in Shooting In the previous coverage of the Connor Hilton murder case, court documents have unveiled fresh information regarding the shooting incident.
On December 23, Hilton allegedly fired shots at 18-year-old Ethan Riley and another individual. Hilton’s attorney, J.L. Carpenter, collaborated with prosecutors and a judge to secure Hilton’s release, ensuring that he could maintain his therapy sessions. He will not be returning home, but instead, he will be staying with relatives at an undisclosed location in Harris County, according to officials.
Hilton’s attorney also confirmed that Hilton had been receiving therapy before the tragic shooting. However, the attorney was unaware of the specific reason why Hilton was seeking therapy at that time.
According to Galveston County Criminal District Attorney Jack Roady, Texas law mandates that a bond amount be set for all criminal defendants, except for those accused of capital murder and repeat felons. In the case of Connor Hilton, who is neither charged with capital murder nor a repeat felon, the court has set his bond. The Galveston County District Attorney’s Office requested a bond of $1 million, which was agreed upon by both the court and the defendant.
Additionally, the District Attorney’s Office requested several bond conditions to ensure the safety of the community. The court and the defendant also agreed to these conditions.
As per the court’s order,
Hilton’s bond is set at $1 million, with various conditions including wearing a GPS monitoring device, staying at his new residential address except for medical and legal appointments, surrendering his passport, refraining from accessing social media, keeping a distance of at least 1,000 feet from places where children commonly gather, avoiding communication with the surviving victims or their families, maintaining a distance of at least 200 yards from the surviving victims or their families, not possessing a firearm, abstaining from alcohol, drugs, or marijuana, and complying with all state, federal, and other laws. The District Attorney’s Office is committed to vigorously prosecuting these cases and cannot provide any further comments.
