From [HERE] and [HERE] A grand jury has cleared two police officers of wrongdoing in the shooting of a Garfield teen last year. Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli released the "no-bill" decision early Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday's decision brought an end to a seven-month investigation into the incident, and revealed new details that law enforcement officials had not yet disclosed.
The officers involved, Sgt. Jose A. Brito of the Garfield department and Kenneth J. Keenan of the Bergen County police, were pursuing 19-year-old Malik Williams on Dec. 10 after Williams fled Garfield police headquarters, where he was being processed on domestic assault charges. Police claimed Williams ran into a garage and barricaded himself inside of it. When Police forced their way in they said they saw him armed with unspecified tools. The officers responded by firing their guns numerous times, killing Williams.
