From [HERE] During last year's string of questionable fatal shootings by Miami police, Officer Reinaldo Goyo shot and killed Travis McNeill, a 28-year-old unarmed black man during a traffic stop. The controversy stemming from the death was, in part, the reason that former police chief Miguel Exposito was fired, but prosecutors have decided not to charge Goyo with any crimes.

 In the early hours of February 11, 2011, McNeill and his cousin were leaving a bar in the Little Haiti neighborhood when they were surrounded by police cars.

"My nephew told me said they were leaving the club -- leaving the club and got about two blocks from the club and police swarmed them," McNeill's mother told the media at the time. "They hit the lights, they stopped. They were never given any warning about show your hands, freeze, step out of the car, the only thing that happened was gun fire." After being stopped, prosecutors believe McNeill reached down to retrieve a cellphone that had slipped from his lap. Officer Goyo apparently thought he was reaching for a gun, and decided to open fire.
