SPOKANE — Authorities have released the first batch of information from an investigation into the fatal shooting of an unarmed Mexican immigrant by police in the eastern Washington.
The data released Wednesday afternoon includes video as well as audio files from witnesses and others.
Antonio Zambrano-Montes, a 35-year-old former orchard worker, was shot Feb. 10 by three Pasco police officers. Authorities say he was throwing rocks at police and a stun gun failed to subdue him.
Franklin County Prosecutor Shawn Sant is considering whether criminal charges are warranted.
The shooting prompted months of protests in Pasco, an agricultural center with 68,000 residents about 130 miles southwest of Spokane, after cellphone video showed the officers chasing Zambrano-Montes before shooting him as he turned around.
