Tina Belvin, Christopher Stout's aunt, said her nephew has a criminal history but did not deserve to die.

"What did they do that was so bad they felt they needed to die," said Belvin. "I just need that answered. We all need that answered."

Investigators said Christopher was wanted for a burglary in Payne County. Prosecutors filed burglary charges on him on April 4, 2013 and an arrest warrant was issued. Stacie Stout, the passenger in the suspect's car did not have a warrant out for her arrest.

"She was a good girl, a good mother and a good wife," Belvin said about her nephew's girlfriend and she said unless Christopher threatened to harm an officer he should not have been shot. "They had no reason to even draw, much less pull the trigger on my nephew," she said.

Oklahoma City Police Captain Dexter Nelson , a spokesperson for the department said, "because of the multi-jurisdictional aspect it will be quite some time before we can figure out what all happened and who fired what shots."

Captain Nelson said during a media release on Wednesday afternoon, "to date we have not located a weapon that appears to belong to a suspect but we still have not conducted a complete investigation, we still need to search his truck."

"Why did they even draw their weapons," she asked.
