A grand jury in New Jersey has voted against filing charges against two police officers in the fatal shooting of a man who defied orders by stepping out of a car during a traffic stop with his hands raised.
The December 2014 shooting of 36-year-old Jerame Reid in Bridgeton was captured on their patrol car's dashboard camera.
The Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office said Thursday the officers feared for their lives.
