A federal judge dismissed the claims against Tarrant County and six of the named jailers, but nine defendants remain.

The Tarrant County Sheriff's Office says an inmate died after an attempted suicide over the weekend. According to the sheriff's office, the 36-year-old was booked into the jail on Feb. 4 and died at John Peter Smith Hospital on Feb. 8 "following complications from an attempted suicide."

A U.S. district judge dismissed the claims against Tarrant County in the civil case brought by the family of Anthony Johnson Jr., who was killed at the county jail in April, according to the ruling issued Friday. In addition to the county, Judge Reed O’Connor dismissed six individual defendants named in the original case, the order states.

A district court judge dismissed a lawsuit from the family of a man who died in the Tarrant County jail last year.

A 36-year-old man died in the Tarrant County Jail Saturday following complications from an attempted suicide. He was the first person to die in the jail this year.

The 36-year-old man had been screened multiple times and showed no warning signs of suicidal behavior, officials said.
