The Douglas County grand jury investigating the
death of Jose Zermeño-Garcia returned no indictments against the Omaha
police officers who shot and killed the Mexican national May 30. After
deliberating for a few hours Thursday, the grand jury of nine men and
seven women exonerated Officers Nathan Anderson and Christopher
McElligott of any criminal wrongdoing. The grand jury, which meets in
secret, declined to issue a report or make any recommendations. Both
officers have returned to duty. [more]
