NC Officer Not Indicted In Shooting Death Of Unarmed Car Crash Victim

NC Officer Not Indicted In Shooting Death Of Unarmed Car Crash Victim

A partial grand jury in North Carolina decided not to indict police officer Randall Kerrick, 27, for the September 14, 2013 shooting death of Jonathan Ferrell, 24, reports the Huffington Post.

As previously reported by NewsOne, Ferrell, a former Florida A&M football player who had recently moved to North Carolina to be with his fiancee, was in a serious car crash and after kicking out his back window, walked to a nearby cluster of homes and knocked on the first door for help.

A woman answered the door thinking it was her husband and immediately slammed it in Ferrell’s face before calling 911.

On the 911 tape released by the city, the woman can be heard sobbing to the dispatcher, begging them to hurry and telling them that her baby was in the house with her.

“He’s in his bed. I don’t know what to do. I can’t believe I opened the door…Please don’t let him get my baby,” she cried.
