The Texas Rangers met with the family attorney and father of John Mendoza Jr. Friday, according to family attorney Charles Adams, to provide an update on the ongoing investigation into the young man's death at the hands of a former Brazoria County Sheriff's Office deputy.

Adams said in a statement posted on Facebook the meeting with the Rangers was cordial but left him deeply concerned about the direction of the investigation.

"The law enforcement focus is squarely on building a manslaughter/accidental discharge case against Deputy Tippit, and I continue to strongly disagree with that conclusion," Adams said.
