At the time of the lawsuit filling, Javier Ambler Sr., his father, told reporters NBC News, “He was my firstborn, you know. And I’m here to tell you they took him away … they took him away way too early from me. He was supposed to bury me.”
“This lawsuit is not going to bring my child back, but it is going to represent some kind of justice for my son,” Maritza, Ambler’s mother said. “And that’s all we’re asking for.”
A statement regarding the ruling was posted on social media by Ambler family’s legal team, Ben Crump, Antonio Romanucci, Jeff Edwards, and Bhavani Raveendran.
“While the Ambler family remains devastated by the loss of their son and loving father, they are proud that they fought for him and hope that this settlement and the changes that have occurred in Williamson County, Texas as a result of this case send a powerful message to law enforcement that ignoring a person’s pleas that they cannot breathe will no longer be tolerated” he said.
