SAN ANTONIO — The family attorney of Charles “Chop” Roundtree Jr. is now speaking out after the shooting death of a 29-year-old mother Monday night, who San Antonio police say possibly was killed by officer gunfire intended for the now-hospitalized hostage suspect.
“Had the proper steps been taken in the Charles Roundtree case to prevent officers from recklessly firing into homes, there’s a very high chance that this 29-year-old mother would be alive today,” said Daryl Washington, a Dallas-based lawyer representing the Roundtree family.
