In addition to asking that the police conduct a thorough investigation, the family is also asking for funds on a GoFundMe page created to support Hutchins’ son.

“As a result of the bounty hunters excessive use of force, Walter’s life was cut short, and the lives of my son and I have been turned upside down,” Johnson wrote.

“His sudden removal from our lives has left a hole that only his presence could fill. His death also comes as a tremendous unexpected financial burden. We need your assistance to overcome this traumatic event as a family. We deeply appreciate whatever donation you can afford. 100 percent of funds will go to Walter’s son, Walter Matthew Hutchins Jr.”
