Dan Roy Henry Jr.

Brandon was sitting next to DJ in the car.

He was shot in the arm, but escaped serious injury.

The family wanted answers, and that morning headed to the Mount Pleasant Police Station just hours after saying goodbye to their son.

And we wanted to look them in the eyes and just say, you know, you need to know a little bit about our son.

What the Henrys did not know is that the police chief, Louis Alagno, had already conducted a press conference implicating their son.

Alagno said several police officers responded to a fight at Finnegan's Grill, a local bar about two miles from Pace University's campus.

Reportedly, unruly patrons had spilled into the parking lot.

According to Alagno, when a policeman approached the car in the fire lane, the vehicle sped off and struck an officer.

Alagno said the car continued to accelerate and the officer on the hood of the car shot the driver.

That driver was DJ Henry.

The Henrys didn't want condolences.

They wanted to know how Chief Alagno could make a public statement about their son without talking to them first.

And you asked the question that they would conduct a press conference without even having talked with you as family, and the response was?

That's what the officers on the scene told me happened, basically.

And we pressed and said, look, we want truth.

What we want is truth.

That moment began a long legal journey that would take the Henrys from a strip mall in New York all the way to the United States Department of Justice.

We're not anti-police.

We're just trying to understand what the facts tell us.

Was it a justified shooting or was it not justified?
