“Dean was not carrying, did not display or use a weapon when he was killed” by Temple Police Officer  Carmen DeCruz, local news outlet KCEN reported, citing a police report that was finally made public on Monday, nearly a month after the shooting. The police report was light on details but did indicate that the shooting happened after a traffic stop and claimed Dean was “Evading.” However, the nature of the traffic stop was not disclosed and neither was any other information to support the allegations Dean, a 28-year-old father of three, was evading anything.

Aside from the above information, not much else has been announced by the police department.

Civil rights attorney S. Lee Merritt, who is representing Dean’s family, said during a press conference last month that his clients were going through “torture” after “their loved one was shot in the head by a police officer” and getting “absolutely no explanation for that use of deadly force.”
