Officers will not face criminal charges in the shooting death of a Buffalo man during a May 7, 2017 traffic stop in Buffalo's Black Rock neighborhood, as announced by the state Attorney General's Office.

It was late on a Sunday afternoon when Jose Hernandez-Rossy was pulled over in the area of Hartman Place and Garfield Street. Two officers were in the police car.

The report states during the traffic stop, one officer was wrestling with Hernandez-Rossy inside the vehicle, which then moved and collided into a house after almost hitting a child on a bicycle.

The report goes on to say the second officer believed Hernandez-Rossy had a gun, heard a loud pop as Hernandez-Rossy ran away, then saw the other officers yelling out he was shot, with his ear dangling from his head.

Hernandez-Rossy then got into a fight with the second officer, who warned him not to flee after breaking away, stated the report. A shot was then fired.

Jose Hernandez-Rossy was later pronounced dead at the hospital. He was 26.

Joseph Acquino and Justin Tedesco were identified by the department as the officers involved. Acquino was wounded in the ear, and Tedesco was the officer who then grappled with Hernandez-Rossy and fired.

The report said that Hernandez-Rossy was not armed, and though Acquino was injured, he was mistaken believing he was shot.

According to the District Attorney's report, an officer is permitted by state law "to use deadly physical force against a fleeing suspect if the officer reasonably believes that such fleeing individual has just committed a felony involving physical force against another person."

Both officers were placed on paid administrative leave after the shooting. Protesters took to demonstrating outside police headquarters, demanding the officers are fired.

"Just because the attorney general came back with inconclusive findings doesn't mean that it eradicates these officers from any wrongdoing or excessive force or any misconduct," said Shaketa Redden, of Just Resisting.

Thirteen witnesses were inteviewed and civilian video was reviewed when compiling the report.

The family of Hernandez-Rossy has filed a federal lawsuit against both officer, the police department and the City.
