The family of a man who was killed by Bexar County sheriff's deputies has been awarded $10 million by a Texas jury.
According to testimony, Flores’ mother called 911 to report that her son had assaulted his wife and infant child. On the call, Flores can be heard saying he was going to die by "suicide by cop."
An attorney for Flores’ family, Robert Wilson, told jurors that the deputies were not in danger when they opened fire on Flores.But attorneys representing the officers argued that Flores remained a threat because he refused to drop the knife.
