Family of Terrell Thompson, man accused in Officer Jerving's death, wants answers

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- As the city grieves the loss of Officer Peter Jerving, CBS 58 learned new details about the suspected shooter, Terrell Thompson.

Thompson's family said they are still waiting for information on the events that led up to Thompson's death.

Thompson's family told CBS 58 they would like to see the body cam video from the shooting, and they also have questions about the alleged robbery.

A petition for a harassment restraining order was filed against Thompson last year, but later dismissed.

Just one day before the deadly shooting, Thompson was in court for a misdemeanor hit-and-run case.

Thompson took a plea deal and was put on 12 months' probation, a sentence the District Attorney's Office said was appropriate for the crime.

The Milwaukee Police Department has not released full details about the events of Tuesday morning, Feb 7, saying the investigation is ongoing.

The DA's office added Thompson did not have a juvenile record.
