We will continue to demand that the justice system hold Cox fully accountable for our devastating loss. The heartbreak that has been thrust upon Kris’ family is unimaginable—his parents, who raised him with love and hope for a bright future, and his baby brother, who now grows up without the sibling he looked up to, are left shattered and searching for justice. This pain is something no family should ever endure. And the truth remains: Kris should still be alive.
There is no excuse—no justification—for what happened. Cox made a reckless, irreversible decision that day. He took it upon himself to involve himself in an incident over something as minor and nonviolent as a case of tinted windows. That was not his responsibility. It was a situation that should have been handled exclusively by uniformed, trained law enforcement officers—individuals equipped not just with procedure, but with accountability and oversight. Instead, Cox took it upon himself to insert his presence into a matter where he had no place, and the consequences were fatal.
What makes this even more painful is the knowledge that this tragedy was preventable. It didn’t have to happen. If Cox had followed the basic protocols and respected the boundaries of his role, if he had deferred to those whose duty it was to handle such situations, Kris would be here today. Smiling. Laughing. Living.
We are tired of watching the justice system turn a blind eye to misconduct just because of a badge, a title, or a false sense of authority. Our loved ones are not disposable. They are not collateral damage in someone else’s poor judgment. We will not allow Kris’ name to become another forgotten headline. His life mattered. He was someone’s son, someone’s brother, someone’s friend—he was a person with dreams, dignity, and every right to exist freely without being wrongfully targeted.
Cox must be held accountable—not just in the court of public opinion, but in the court of law. Accountability is not optional when a life is taken unjustly. It is not too much to ask for consequences that reflect the gravity of the harm inflicted. It is not too much to ask for a system that values the lives of those it is supposed to protect. We are not seeking vengeance; we are demanding justice.
To Kris’ family—your fight is our fight. Your grief is seen, felt, and shared. And your unwavering call for justice echoes louder each day. We stand with you, and we will not be silenced until those responsible are held to the highest standard of the law.
Let this serve as a message: Our community will not let Kris be forgotten. We will speak his name. We will demand truth. We will demand reform. And above all, we will demand justice—for Kris, for his family, and for every other life that has been unjustly taken.
Because accountability is not just a demand—it is a necessity.
