Dedick Graves was shot by a Prairie View A&M police officer on Feb. 11.
"Something is wrong with this case, it does not pass the smell test," said family spokesperson Quanell X.
The family held a news conference outside of Hermann Hospital where Graves is in critical condition.
"We are absolutely angry, upset, and outraged," Quanell X said.
Sources say the PVAMU detective was executing a warrant when the shooting happened in Austin County.
