A grand jury has decided not to indict an Indianapolis police officer over the death of 21-year-old Dreasjon Reed who was fatally shot during a foot chase that followed a vehicle pursuit with police on May 6.

The grand jury’s decision not to indict Dejoure Mercer, the Black officer who exchanged gunfire with Reed, was announced Tuesday by special prosecutor Rosemary Khoury. Reed also was Black.
