DALLAS (CBSMiami/AP) -- Philando Castile's mother and two uncles are condemning the shooting in Dallas that left five police officers dead and wounded several more.

In an interview with CNN, Valerie Castile says her son would not have approved of the shootings "because he believed that all lives matter."

Police say Dallas suspect Micah Johnson was upset about the fatal police shootings of Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana.

Tracy Castile says while the video of his nephew's death is horrific, he is glad it came out. He says he and his family are looking for due process. He wants the officer involved to be "treated like any other criminal."

State investigators identified the two officers as Jeronimo Yanez and Joseph Kauser. Both are on administrative leave.
