"Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Sowunmi’s family as they go through this horrible loss especially at this time of the year," Dix said in a written statement "It took a great deal of courage to do what Glosson’s father did by taking his son back to the scene and keeping him there until we arrived. He did the right thing and made sure his son was held accountable for his actions. It’s also a tragedy for that family as well and they are also in our thoughts and prayers."
