NEW: Travis County D.A. José Garza will present the two cases where police killed Michael Ramos and Javier Ambler to the already-impaneled Special Grand Jury before it expires on March 30, 2020. The six other police killing/death in custody cases will be presented chronologically 
Garza also said that, keeping in line with his campaign promise to present every case of alleged police misconduct to a grand jury, the two police shootings this year will be brought to a special grand jury.
