Mark's brother Cory Hughes, a protest organiser, told KTVT he was "100 percent sure" his brother was not a suspect and he was getting death threats as a result of the misidentification. 

"My brother was marching with us. Because he's my brother and I understood the severity of the situation, I told my brother, 'Give that gun away,"' Cory Hughes said. "He never thought that by exercising his right, he'd be plastered over the national media as a suspect."

A video later surfaced showing Mark Hughes handing over his rifle to police while also receiving a business card from an officer.

Hughes was later interviewed by KTVT and expressed his shock at seeing his picture being plastered all over the place: “I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it. The crazy thing about it is that, I was down here, I couldn’t get down to my vehicle because of the roadblock. And in hindsight, 20/20, I could have easily been shot.”

In the video Hughes said that as soon as he saw his picture, he immediately flagged it to police. So while the country was looking for him, Hughes was "laughing and joking with police officers," he said.

Hughes said he was interrogated for 30 minutes with police officers "lying" that they had a video of him shooting. 

“At the end of the day, the system was trying to get me," he said. 

Hughes said he had not received an apology: “We asked them, we said, now you all have my face on national news, are you going to come out and say this young man had nothing to do with this?”
