HOUSTON (AP) — Dozens of protesters chased after a Houston-area sheriff's deputy and her husband following their court appearance Tuesday on murder charges in the death of a man they confronted outside a restaurant.

At one point, the protesters surrounded the car the couple entered outside the courthouse and temporarily blocked it from driving off.

Attorneys for Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Chauna Thompson and her husband, Terry Thompson, said Tuesday prosecutors rushed to present the case to a grand jury and did so because of the couple's ties to law enforcement.
 
The couple is accused of causing the death of John Hernandez, 24, who died three days after the May 28 confrontation outside a Denny's restaurant in Sheldon, located 17 miles (27 kilometers) northeast of Houston.

The family of the man fatally choked outside of a Denny's restaurant in east Harris County has filed a civil lawsuit against the people they say are responsible for his death.

Attorneys Troy Chandler Randall Kallinen said the family chose to file the lawsuit in an effort to seek financial support.

John Hernandez was the family's sole breadwinner, Kallinen said. With his death, family members are worried that they will not be able to provide for Hernandez's 3-year-old daughter, Alexa Hernandez.
