Grand jury: No charges for IMPD officer who fatally shot Dreasjon Reed
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officer who fatally shot 21-year-old Dreasjon Reed won’t face criminal charges, a grand jury has decided.
IMPD officer Dejoure Mercer shot Reed during a foot pursuit near West 62nd Street and Michigan Road on May 6.
The shooting sparked protests and demands from some that Mercer face consequences.
The ISP investigation concluded that Reed was armed, that he fired two shots after he had been tased by Mercer and that he was then shot multiple times by Mercer, including while they were facing each other.
The ISP also said evidence in Reed's phone indicated his involvement in two previous drive-by shootings — no one was injured — and that cartridges collected by IMPD in those shootings matched the gun that was in Reed's possession when he was shot.
Protesters rally in downtown Indianapolis on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2020, after it was announced that the IMPD officer who fatally shot 21-year-old Dreasjon Reed in May will not face criminal charges.
