Family of Nicholas Norris comments for first time about his shooting death by Bexar County, Texas deputy
Romanucci & Blandin, LLC, a national trial law firm principally based in Chicago, and the family of Nicholas Norris are providing comments about his September 30, 2021, shooting death by a Bexar County, Texas sheriff’s deputy. Norris had a known history of mental health challenges, which were exacerbated by the recent death of his mother, Stephanie Norris, due to COVID-19. Norris was shot and killed following a short vehicle pursuit that ended near the intersection of Sundance Crest and Potranco Road on the far west side of San Antonio. The morning of his death, Norris was in emotional distress and he was in need of intervention and medical support, but his encounter with law enforcement resulted in Norris being shot and killed.
“Nick was a beautiful and gentle soul and abhorred violence. His brothers and I always did our best to protect him as much as possible, his whole life, and I can’t believe we were not there to help him at that moment when he needed it. He did not deserve to die, and our family is devastated by this tragic end to his life,” said Thomas Norris, Nicholas Norris’ father.
