[TexasTowelie]

GRAPEVINE -- The family of a Mexican national who was fatally shot in February by a Grapevine police officer on the side of a Euless freeway has filed a civil rights suit in Dallas federal court.

Rubén García Villalpando, 31, of North Richland Hills had been pursued by Grapevine police officer Robert Clark for a few minutes on Feb. 20 until Garcia pulled over on Texas 121 in Euless.

Garcia, who was unarmed, did not immediately respond to Clark’s shouted commands and asked if the officer was going to kill him, according records obtained by the Star-Telegram.

On Wednesday, García’s widow, Martha Anjelica Romero, sued the city of Grapevine, Grapevine Police Chief Eddie Salame and Clark.
