Demps was shot and killed outside an East Austin gas station on Jan. 21. His family believes his death was unjustified.
"If you know my husband, you know me. If you know me, you know my husband," said Wanda Mitchell, Demps’ wife.
Demps was shot and killed outside a Shell gas station on East Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd last weekend. Before he was shot, Austin police revealed Demps was involved in an altercation inside the store with one of the employees, 25-year-old Yaseen Naz. APD says Naz grabbed a gun and told Demps to leave. As Demps was leaving, Naz proceeded to follow him out and shoot him multiple times through his car window. Naz is now behind bars charged with first degree murder."I'm hurt. I'm angry. He needs justice," said Mitchell.
Mitchell admits her husband was not perfect, but she says she believes not everything that happened that night was his fault and warranted his death. "When he left at that store, that should have been it. If he scared you, if you were scared of what he did to you, whatever happened in that store, you should lock the door and call 911. You went outside and murdered him, and it's not fair. It's not fair. It's not fair," she said.All the news you need to know, every day
