'Brothers and sisters that love him more than life'
Stewart says Brooks worked at "a tortilla place" and was extremely loved by family.
"We have more family members at that house today than I could count," the attorney said. "A ton of brothers and sisters that love him more than life."
One of Brooks' older cousins, Decatur Redd, spoke to reporters Saturday and said he never expected he would have a similar situation land so close to home.
"I don't know how to do this because I never knew that I was going to have to do this," a visibly distraught Redd told the crowd.
Redd said he has seen videos of Friday night's shooting that have been circulating on social media. It was the worst thing he could wake up to, knowing Brooks' whole family watched those same moments.
"We've been watching this happen for so many years, with young black boys around the country just dying in vain -- I just don't want that to continue and keep happening like that," Redd said.
"I didn't think it would hit right here, man. I thought this city was better than that. They've got to answer. Somebody's gotta say something," Redd said, "We need to at least know that the city is with us."
When seeing something like George Floyd's death, the black man who died during an arrest in Minneapolis, Brooks would cry, his wife said.
"Even though he looks tough, he was a big cry baby," Tomika Miller said.
"I just don't understand why it's this way. What if that was me," or our son, Brooks would say, according to Tomika Miller.
