Unarmed and with no criminal record, Mendoza had just finished his freshman year and returned home for summer. Witnesses say he and his friends had their hands up and made no attempt to flee. The deputy, now on administrative leave, reportedly said he “messed up” after firing. The Texas Rangers are investigating, and Mendoza’s family remembers him as a gifted football star with a promising future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
