Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has officially pardoned U.S. Army Sgt. Daniel Perry, who was convicted of murdering Black Lives Matter protester Garrett Foster in 2020.

According to reports from the Austin American-Statesman, Perry — who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for Foster's murder in April 2023 — was released from prison in Rosharon, Texas, less than one hour after Abbott signed a pardon proclamation.

On Thursday, May 16, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles wrote in a statement that it recommended Perry to be pardoned on the murder conviction.

"The members of the Board of Pardons and Paroles delved into the intricacies of Perry’s case. The investigative efforts encompassed a meticulous review of permanent documents, from police reports to court records, witness statements, and interviews with individuals linked to the case," the statement reads in part.

"After a thorough examination of the amassed information, the parole board reached a decision on May 16, 2024. The Board voted unanimously to recommend a full pardon and restoration of firearm rights."
