Dallas, May 20 (RHC)-- A grand jury in Texas has declined to indict a Grapevine police officer for fatally shooting an unarmed Mexican man on the side of the highway during a traffic stop in February.

Earlier, police released dashboard camera video showing Rubén García Villalpando, a father of four, obeying Officer Robert Clark’s instructions to keep his hands in the air, as Clark holds him at gunpoint and screams profanity at him. García wanders toward the officer with his hands still on top of his head and disappears from the frame, just seconds before Clark opens fire.

Police have never claimed García Villalpando reached for Officer Clark’s weapon or attacked him. An autopsy showed García was drunk. He did not have a gun. García was one of three unarmed Mexican citizens killed by police in the United States over a period of less than a month.
