Juan San Miguel, a 57-year-old Hispanic male, died on August 9, 2017, in Cleburne, Texas. He was a part-time security officer at the Jefferson County Courthouse and had previously served with the Beaumont Police Department and BISD PD. San Miguel was under investigation for sexual assault charges, including three counts of indecency with a child and three counts of sexual assault of a child.
On July 24, 2017, he was notified of the investigation and was planned to be placed on administrative leave without pay. However, he resigned from his position on July 28, 2017, before the leave could take effect.
On August 4, 2017, the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office issued warrants for his arrest. The following day, San Miguel committed suicide by shooting himself near a local park in Cleburne, Texas. The incident occurred around 5:40 a.m., and the Cleburne Police Department confirmed his death as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. There were no arrests or suspects involved in his death, as it was determined to be a suicide.
The investigation into the sexual assault charges was ongoing at the time of his death, but no further legal actions were taken against him posthumously. The case was closed following his death, and no additional suspects or litigations were pursued.
