ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The mother of a Texas man who was fatally shot by police last year says sheriff’s deputies recently turned up at her mother’s home and tried to serve a warrant for the dead man’s arrest.
Dee Crane told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Tarrant County deputies came to the house in Arlington this month, making her family “hysterical all over again.”
Sheriff’s office spokesman David McClelland hasn’t responded to messages seeking comment.
Twenty-three-year-old Tavis Crane was killed in February 2017. Authorities say he ran over an Arlington police officer while attempting to flee a traffic stop.
Officer Craig Roper entered Crane’s car and fatally shot him. Crane’s two-year-old daughter and two friends were also in the car. They were not hurt.
A grand jury took no action against Roper.
