Luna was killed.

An attorney representing his family is also pursuing a possible civil suit.

"We're going to be looking real hard at whether this was a chase that should not have gone on as long as it did or not and at the speeds that it went on," attorney Richard Lomurro said.

The suspects are charged with first-degree aggravated manslaughter.

Under state law, the Attorney General has to present all fatal chases to a grand jury, which decides if criminal charges will be filed against the officer.
