Washington state will not charge police in Mexican laborer’s slaying
By Eric M. Johnson SEATTLE (Reuters) – The U.S. state of Washington has decided not to file criminal charges against the three police officers who fatally shot an undocumented Mexican farm worker in 2015 after he threw rocks at them and ran through a crowded intersection. The killing of Antonio Zambrano-Montes in the southeastern farming hub of Pasco, captured on video by witnesses and shared widely online, sparked days of protests from the city's majority Latino community and drew criticism from the Mexican government and human rights activists. Zambrano&039;s death was among a series of police shootings across the United States that have put law enforcement agencies under scrutiny over their use of force against minorities.
