he community is now calling for him to face criminal charges.

 All these agencies and these organizations say that they stand for justice, and that's all we're asking for,  Mendoza Sr. said.  Show us that that's who you are, because this could be any of our sons, any of our daughters. 

Statement from family attorney

In a new statement from family attorney Charles Adams on Friday, he slammed Sheriff Bo Stallman and District Attorney Tom Selleck in the handling of the case.

 Sheriff Stallman and DA Selleck should do the right things with immediacy. They should both officially identify Deputy Tippit. They should release all relevant audio and video recordings of the incident and interactions prior to the shooting. And they should arrest and charge Deputy Tippit,  attorney Adams wrote.

What comes next

The Brazoria County District Attorney says the Texas Rangers' investigation could take months. The findings are expected to be presented to a grand jury.

KPRC 2 News requested footage from Deputy Tippit's body and dash cameras, and so far, DA Selleck has not said whether the video will be released.
