PASCO, Wash. (AP) — A special investigative unit’s report on the Feb. 10 shooting death of an unarmed Hispanic man in the central Washington city of Pasco is expected Thursday, the Franklin County prosecutor said.

The unit, including officers from area police agencies, was asked to investigate the death of Antonio Zambrano-Montes, 35, who was fatally shot by Pasco police nearly four months ago.
Franklin County Prosecutor Shawn Sant said he hopes to outline Thursday what comes next in the review process.

Zambrano-Montes was fired upon 17 times by Pasco police officers Ryan Flanagan, Adam Wright and Adrian Alaniz after he reportedly threw at least one rock at them at a Pasco intersection. The orchard worker was not carrying a gun or knife. A rock was found near his body, which was struck by at least five bullets.
