Justice Sought for John Mendoza Jr

Family and friends of John Mendoza Jr. gathered in Lake Jackson for a heartfelt vigil, honoring the 18-year-old and pushing for justice after the deputy involved in his death was fired. Loved ones released balloons and shared memories of Mendoza as a compassionate, faith-filled young man. The termination of former Deputy Kevin Tippit follows an internal probe that found he violated department policy during the shooting — though no criminal charges have been filed yet, as policy violations don’t automatically equal criminal liability. The Texas Rangers continue their independent investigation, with no timeline set for when it might conclude or if charges will follow. The family remains steadfast in their pursuit of justice for John Mendoza Jr. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
