The investigative division of the District Attorney General's Office is assisting in this investigation. TBI Agents will submit investigative findings to the office of the District Attorney General for his further review and consideration. As a reminder: The TBI acts as independent fact-finders in its investigations and any determination as to whether officers' actions were justified rests solely with the District Attorney General.

The TBI does not identify officers involved in these types of investigations and, instead refers such inquiries to the respective local law enforcement agencies.
