SPOKANE — A special investigative unit gave prosecutors its final report Thursday on the February killing of an unarmed Mexican man who was shot by police in Pasco. The contents were not released.
Franklin County Prosecutor Shawn Sant said his office will interview more than 80 witnesses identified in the report and decide whether criminal charges are warranted against any police officers.
The investigative unit, made up of members of area police agencies, was asked to look into the death of Antonio Zambrano-Montes, 35, who was shot at a busy intersection on Feb. 10 after he threw rocks at cars and police.
