The wrongly accussed has been identified as Mark Hughes.
It was the Dallas Police Department that wrongly tweeted a photo of Hughes with a rifle over his shoulder and asked the public's help in finding him.
The department later realeased a statement that he (Mark Hughes) had turned himself in and that he's not the perpetrator of the crime.
As for him publicly brandishing a rifle, I read it's legal in Texas.
According to Hughes Lawyer, Hughes' been receiving death threats ever since.
It's now the job of the police authority and media alike to exonerate this man before a sick/psycho takes him and/or his family out.
The family's attorney, S. Lee Merritt said, "Cory (Highes brother) went to the bathroom and noticed a group of white guys staring at him and that had pictures of his brother up on their phones," Merritt told the Daily News.
"He came back to me where we were eating and those same guys started taking positions around us by the exiys. I got us up in a hurry and got out of there."
According to Merritt, they've been forced to leave the state.
