The community leaders will be joined by Brooks’ family at an event scheduled for 11:30 a.m.

Brooks was reportedly shot and killed by a Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy back on July 8.

Deputies said the person who fired was a sergeant who pursued Brooks on a foot chase after deputies said he stole from a Dollar General on FM 1960 and pushed the manager at the store.

Authorities say Brooks was able to get ahold of the sergeant’s taser. However, the family’s attorney said they were told otherwise by several witnesses and said there were pictures and videos circulating.
