A Texas man was arrested Friday and subsequently charged with a third-degree felony after shooting at two men who were allegedly attacking his fiancée.
...authorities believe the attack was gang-related

Here's another version of the story with pretty good security video. Sure looks like masked attackers trying to kidnap a woman. Apparently the first judge he got in front of threw his arrest out for lack of probable cause. I would like to think that cops don't act arbitrarily, but... I feel like we are not getting the entire story.

That puts this incident in a whole different light. It does, indeed, sound like the cops were fishing.

Still if he did "serve prison time time for drugs 10 years ago", wouldn't he be a felon in possession of a firearm? I looks like he still hasn't been charged for that.

What grand jury? He was released from custody.

Being released from custody has nothing to do with a subsequent grand jury investigation. People are "released from custody" all the time then eventually indicted by a grand jury. If a grand jury chooses not to indict then that will probably be the end of the case as you have the right under Texas law to be indicted by a grand jury for a felony offense if the District Attorney wants to proceed with charges. Let's see how it plays out.
