Family of Cameron Redus files wrongful death lawsuit against University of Incarnate Word, officer

The family of Cameron Redus filed a wrongful death lawsuit Tuesday night against the University of Incarnate Word and Cpl. Christopher Carter in Bexar County.

KENS 5 will interview the family of Cameron Redus Wednesday. The family has asked KENS 5 to wait a day to air the interview and KENS 5 will abide by the family's wishes.

Cameron Redus, 23, was shot five times at close range by UIW Corporal Christopher Carter, following a traffic stop a few blocks north of campus December 6.

Redus died at the scene.

Carter said Redus became combative after pulling over and he was forced to shoot him five times at close range following a six-minute physical confrontation.
