\"Family Family demands justice after bounty hunter shooting<\/a> <\/p>\n

Two bounty hunters face murder charges in Dallas after allegedly shooting and killing a man with non-violent warrants, sparking questions from the victim’s family about their use of force and expired licenses.<\/p>\n

DALLAS<\/strong> – The family of a man allegedly killed by a bounty hunter and a private investigator wants justice to be served.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

The shooting on Thursday morning, near Deep Ellum, left 33-year-old Drew Knowles dead as the two suspects are facing murder charges.<\/p>\n

Drew Knowles’ cousin, Cody Beck, tells FOX 4\u2019s Peyton Yager that Knowles was aware of the warrants and aware he had eventually taken responsibility.<\/p>\n

But Knowles’ family at the same time are questioning the approach of these two bounty hunters and how warrants for non-violent crimes ended in a fatal shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A newly obtained surveillance video shows 33-year-old Drew Knowles during his final moments on Thursday morning, driving in Deep Ellum.<\/p>\n

Seconds later, you can hear gunshots from one street over.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dallas police say around 8:30 on Thursday morning, Knowles was shot and killed by two bounty hunters who’d been following him.<\/p>\n

34-year-old Rodney Brown and his partner, 23-year-old Jorge Moncivais, are both charged with murder.<\/p>\n

Dig deeper:<\/p>\n

According to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, Knowles had two felony warrants: one for theft from Dallas police. Another for credit card abuse in Carrollton.<\/p>\n

According to an affidavit, Brown and Moncivais used license plate roaders to track Knowles to the Deep Ellum area.<\/p>\n

Police say that’s when the pair boxed Knowles’ BMW in, got out of their two vehicles, and both opened fire.<\/p>\n

After reviewing street cameras, investigators determined as Knowles was trying to drive away, Brown and Moncivais were “shooting into a moving vehicle and not being in danger of being run over”.<\/p>\n

Knowles was shot 4 times.<\/p>\n

In another surveillance video sent to FOX 4, when you zoom in you can see Knowles’ BMW turn onto Cantegral Street where he eventually crashed into a power pole.<\/p>\n

Intake video shows Brown and Moncivais being booked into the Dallas County Jail for murder on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

According to online state records, the armed security officer licenses for both bounty hunters expired last month.<\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

“I know he knew he had the warrants. We talked about that recently,” said Beck. “Why was there first actions to shoot and kill my brother man it’s crazy.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Knowles and Beck were raised in the same home growing up in Arkansas.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure he was scared, alone,” said Beck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Everything you could experience with a sibling, I did with him. My whole life,” said Beck. “I hope justice is fully served to them. 100% we will make sure of it.”<\/p>\n

What’s next:<\/p>\n

Both Brown and Moncivais are still in the Dallas County Jail.<\/p>\n

Both of their bonds are set at half a million each.<\/p>\n
