A University of Cincinnati police officer, Ray Tensing, was just indicted for the murder of Sam Dubose. After a routine traffic stop for not having a front license plate on the car, Tensing shot Dubose in the back of the head, and it is believed that he died instantly because of catastrophic injuries.

During a press conference to announce the indictment, Hamilton County District Attorney Joseph Deters stated, "The video was invaluable. Had their not been video, we would've believed the story that Officer Tensing created, that he was dragged by the car of Dubose—which he wasn't. That was a fabrication. This was senseless, avoidable, murder. This man should've never been an officer. This officer will be charged with murder. This family is suffering and this is ridiculous that this happened."

DA Deters went on to state, "This is murder because this was a non-violent stop, the officer was not threatened, and he deliberately pulled out his gun and shot Mr. Dubose in the head."

An arrest warrant has been issued for Tensing and he is expected to be in custody any time now.
