ARLINGTON -- A spokeswoman for the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office tells News 8 a grand jury is expected to hear former Arlington police officer Brad Miller's case within the next few weeks.
Miller has not been charged in the death of 19-year-old Christian Taylor, but spokeswoman Samantha Jordan says the grand jury will be determining whether Miller should be prosecuted for the incident.
On Aug. 7, 2015, police were called to an Arlington car dealership about a burglary in progress. Security footage from outside the dealership lot before the shooting showed Taylor breaking the windshield of a car on the lot before driving his own vehicle into a glass showroom.
Miller responded to the call and Arlington Police Chief Will Johnson said Miller used poor judgment and made a tactical error by entering the car dealership alone before police could establish a perimeter around the building and determine if there were any other suspects.
Taylor was shot four times inside the dealership. Police said there's no video of what transpired within the dealership, to their knowledge.
Taylor, a graduate of Mansfield Summit High School in Arlington, played football for Angelo State University.
Taylor was not armed, but an autopsy revealed he had marijuana and a powerful hallucinogen similar to LSD in his system when he died.
Miller, who shot the teen, was later fired for his actions in the minutes before Taylor was shot, which Chief Johnson said led to "cascading consequences" that resulted in the fatal gunfire.
Jordan with the district attorney's office says they cannot comment on what charges Miller could face, if indicted.
