They asked for the San Jose Police Department to release information about the officers involved in the shooting, and video from the incident during the news conference that was held near the location where Vasquez was shot at Leigh and Fruitdale avenues in San Jose.

They also asked that the district attorney file charges against the officers involved.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office issued a statement saying that they are investigating the death, and will issue a public report explaining why charges will or won't be filed. District Attorney Jeff Rosen hopes to meet with Vasquez's family soon.
