@crimehouse247: An unarmed Texas college freshman is dead after being shot by a sheriff’s deputy in the driveway of his family’s home, and the deputy has now been fired. Authorities say 18 year old John Mendoza Jr. was returning home when a traffic stop escalated into a deadly confrontation. The Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office announced the deputy’s termination after determining he violated department policies related to the use of his firearm. The fatal shooting remains under investigation by the Texas Rangers, and the case will be presented to a grand jury to determine whether criminal charges are warranted. Mendoza’s family maintains he was unarmed and says surveillance video raises serious questions about what happened in the moments before the deputy fired. Do you think this case will lead to criminal charges?
