The deadly shooting happened in late 2019 at a Henderson apartment complex.
The boy called 9-1-1 telling operators his mother, 37-year-old Claudia Rodriquez-Mendez, was trying to kill him.

Investigators say the officer's interaction with Claudia at the scene and text messages found from her mother showed concern for her well-being.
