A Tarrant County grand jury declined to indict a Grapevine police officer Monday who fatally shot an unarmed Mexican man after a high-speed chase earlier this year.

The decision by the grand jury means officer Robert Clark will not face charges in the death of 31-year-old Ruben Garcia Villalpando, an undocumented immigrant who died Feb. 20 after being shot twice in the chest during a traffic stop.

Police said Villalpando led Clark on a high-speed chase, “weaving through and around the heavy traffic and driving on the shoulder of the highway attempting to evade officer Clark.”

Villalpando eventually stopped along Texas 121 near Glade Road in Euless and exited his car with his hands up. Then, contrary to the officer’s instructions, he walked slowly toward the officer while holding his hands on his head, according to police.

As he continued to approach the officer, Villalpando disappeared from the view of the camera as Clark continued to order the man back to his car. Moments later, two shots could be heard, followed by the officer radioing “shots fired.”
