A man accused of shooting three Asian American women at a Dallas hair salon in May was indicted Tuesday on multiple counts, including committing a hate crime and aggravated assault, the Dallas County District Attorney's Office announced.
Jeremy Smith, 37, is charged with seven counts of aggravated assault, each with a hate-crime enhancement and punishable by five years to life in prison. He was arrested by Dallas police on May 16 and remains in the county jail with bail set at $700,000.
After Smith entered the Koreatown establishment on May 11, he allegedly fired 13 shots from a .22-caliber rifle, injuring three women -- the salon owner, an employee and a customer -- and endangering four others. The three women, who are all Korean, suffered nonfatal injuries and were transported to a local hospital after the shooting, police said.

In Texas the State has 180 days to indict. They only have 90 days to announce ready or they have to either lower the bond amount or release on a PR bond.

Capt Gregory Prickett - ok so within 48 hours they must charge him, right? why would it take so long to indict him? it seems like a done case against him. Court backlog?

SGT Jim Arnold - There's no requirement to formally charge someone within 48 hours. They do have to be arraigned within 48 to 72 hours of the arrest.
