Two Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies shot Gilbert Flores, 41, in his front lawn while it appeared he had his hands raised in the air, My San Antonio reports. 

“We coordinate our investigation to ensure that we are not interfering with (BSCO’s) investigation,” said FBI spokeswoman Michelle Lee. “They have been extremely cooperative and transparent.”
