HOUSTON, TX – A former Harris County deputy constable, Aaron Frank Grant, is facing additional legal troubles as he awaits trial for a murder charge. Grant, once associated with a notorious motorcycle gang, finds himself back behind bars after his bond was revoked.
Grant, 39, was initially charged with murder in early 2023 following a deadly shooting incident on the North Freeway, which claimed the life of Jesse Metzger, a father of young children. The case has seen delays, and no trial date has been set. In January 2025, Grant faced a slew of new charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, continuous family violence, and injury to a child, as per court documents.
These new allegations span incidents from 2021 to as recently as October 2024, all occurring after his wife filed for divorce. According to Grant’s legal counsel, he maintains his innocence regarding these accusations and plans to address each charge systematically, starting with the murder allegation.
The mother of the murder victim, Metzger, has publicly condemned Grant’s actions, describing them as evil and highlighting his alleged mistreatment of his wife and her son. This sentiment is echoed by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, which considers Grant a threat to the community.
In past proceedings, bond conditions for Grant have been a topic of concern, with a hearing officer previously grappling with the decision. Now, with his bond revoked, Grant remains in jail as the legal process unfolds.
The victim’s mother has expressed frustration over the delay in the murder trial, fearing that the recent charges might further postpone proceedings. She emphasizes the prolonged wait for justice and the impact it has had on her family.
Efforts to reach Grant’s ex-wife for comment were unsuccessful. Meanwhile, the community watches closely as the legal saga continues, with many hoping for a resolution that brings justice to the victims and their families.
As the case develops, the focus remains on the upcoming trial and the potential implications of the new charges on Grant’s fate.
