On Sept. 23, Bunkley was robbed after he had cashed a $7,000 settlement check from a previous accident.
Bunkley’s family said he posted a video of the money on Instagram, and shortly after, he was shot and killed.
“I want to say it’s a setup,” said Telfor.
Bunkley’s girlfriend was with him at the time and was even kidnapped by James, but the family doesn’t believe she had anything to do with the deadly shooting.
James, who remains in the Harris County Jail, was given a $150,000 bond for the capital murder charge and $75,000 for aggravated kidnapping.
