SAN MARCOS — Today, Cyrus Gray works with local nonprofit Mano Amiga in an attempt to aid and support others the way he was during his case, but the journey to get here was long and traumatizing. Detailing the trials and tribulations of his incarceration, Gray released his first memoir, “I Killed A Man,” June 9.
Gray was originally charged with capital murder in 2018 and eventually received a dismissal without prejudice in 2023, meaning that the case could come back at any time. Although some may believe that this is what inspired his book, he noted that it was actually the horrors that still persist despite the dismissal that pushed his need to share his story.
The very moment that pushed him too far was in 2024, recalled Gray, when he and his then-girlfriend were driving in San Antonio and got pulled over.
