Beck said at the time that there were potential charges in the case. The charges, filed Thursday afternoon by the DA's office, are one of nine cases in the county's grand jury. It comes in the wake of a fatal police shooting of 24-year-old Christopher Garcia in December, when a police officer had to be revived after allegedly being shot in the back. Beck's statement on Thursday said the officers in the 2013 incident, and those who fired on Garcia, should be identified to the public.
Garcia has alleged that officers were acting recklessly. Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck issued a statement Thursday saying the district attorney's office was taking the case seriously, and that there was nothing criminal about the shooting that left two people dead: Garcia.
