<meta ='name' content='New Details Emerge Surrounding The Brutal Slaying Of Tyre Nichols | TSR Investigates'/>
<meta ='description' content='Millions of people across the country were outraged after witnessing the brutal beating of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols by Memphis police officers in a video that has since gone viral. What initially began as a traffic stop for aggressive driving ended in five Memphis police officers being charged with the murder of a young Black man. The five officers responsible include Justin Smith, Tadarrius Bean, Emmitt Martin The Third, Desmond Mills And Demetrius Haley. However, according to court documents from a 2015 lawsuit, Haley was previously accused of violence toward an inmate when he worked as a corrections officer. New details have emerged revealing a sixth officer. The officer who goes by the name Preston Hemphill is now off the force as well after his body camera showed him fire a taser at Nichols. Should these officers have been vetted more closely before being allowed to protect and serve? Could there be more to this senseless act of violence? The Shade Room investigates…'/>

<p>On June 3, 2022. authorities say <strong>Andre Hernandez Jr.</strong> was driving a stolen red Toyota Corolla alongside two other juveniles when he was shot and killed by San Antonio Police Officer Stephen Ramos.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Newly-Released Video Shows Deadly June 2022 Shooting Of 13-Year-Old Boy By Police In Stolen Car</h3>
<p>Ramos and two other officers, identified only as Claire and Espinoza, had been responding to reports of gunfire and loud music about 1 a.m.</p>
<p>Video obtained by the <em><a href="https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/aj-hernandez-san-antonio-shooting-17792758.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>San Antonio Express-News</strong></a></em> shows the officers pursuing the stolen Corolla, which can be see backing away from Ramos’ vehicle before pulling into a driveway.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Don’t let him ram you!” Ramos yells at Espinoza, who stops his Chevrolet Tahoe patrol vehicle before opening the door and placing his left leg out on the side of the vehicle.</p></blockquote>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1627843782484918273" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<blockquote><p>“Let me see your hands!” Espinoza yells and puts his leg back inside as the Corolla hits his vehicle.</p></blockquote>
<p>Seconds later, Ramos can be seen exiting his car and opening fire, video shows.</p>
<blockquote><p>“I’m shot, sir,” Hernandez says after he exits the vehicle before falling to the ground.</p></blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Authorities Call Shooting &#8220;Tragedy&#8221; But Added That Boy&#8217;s Age &#8220;Was Not Known By Officer&#8221; During Shooting</h3>
<p>Ramos goes to check on Hernandez and runs to his patrol car to get a medical kit and administering first aid. The young teen was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead, according to the outlet.</p>
<p>The Bexar County District Attorney’s Office called the shooting of a minor a “tragedy,&#8221; but that Hernandez’s age “was not known by Officer Ramos at the time, nor does it mitigate the threat to Officer Espinoza.”</p>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1534698934559461377" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<blockquote><p>“It was reasonable for Officer Ramos to believe that Officer Espinoza was standing outside of his vehicle and was therefore being threatened with deadly force by the red Toyota as it accelerated towards him,” a memo detailing the DA’s review states, according to the Express News.</p></blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">District Attorney&#8217;s Office Declines To Bring Criminal Charges Against Officer Ramos, Victim&#8217;s Family &#8220;Frustrated&#8221;</h3>
<p>The memo stated Officer Espinoza &#8220;used deadly force to prevent unjustified harm.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>“These facts led Officer Ramos to believe that Officer Espinoza was being threatened with deadly force. Thus he used deadly force to prevent unjustified harm to Officer Espinoza in accordance with” the Texas Penal Code, the outlet added.</p></blockquote>
<p>The district attorney&#8217;s office ultimately declined to bring criminal charges against officer Ramos.</p>
<p>Hernandez&#8217; family lawyer, Lee Merritt, said they are &#8220;very frustrated&#8221; by the grand jury&#8217;s decision not to pursue charges against the officer, and are now moving forward with a federal civil rights lawsuit instead.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Hernandez&#8217; Family Attorney Claims Car Was Moving Too Slowly To Pose A Threat To Officers</h3>
<p>Ramos, who had previously fatally shot John Pena Montez during domestic call in 2021. A grand jury cleared him in that incident, as well.</p>
<blockquote><p>“This officer has killed two human beings, he has no business in the profession of policing,” Merritt said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Merritt countered that that the Corolla was moving too slowly at the time to pose a danger to Espinoza, &#8220;never going more than 5 miles per hour,&#8221; the attorney told <em><a href="https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/law-enforcement/sapd-san-antonio-stephan-ramos-indictment-aj-hernandez-shooting/273-bdd5f386-5321-49a7-bc3c-3801b29cd955" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>KEN5</strong></a></em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Those cars were never going more than 5 miles per hour and AJ Hernandez never represented a deadly threat to anyone,” Merritt told news station KEN5.</p></blockquote>
