A 21-year-old man no-billed Wednesday [June 8] in connection with the shooting of Fort Worth Officer Matt Pearce may still face criminal prosecution after the Tarrant County district attorney’s office quickly filed new charges in the case.

Tarrant County records show Ed Russell McIver Jr. of Weatherford was not indicted Wednesday on a charge of attempted capital murder and possession of a controlled substance, according to the Star-Telegram.

“We believe strongly this case should be prosecuted and have re-filed those two charges to be presented to the next Grand Jury,” said Samantha Jordan, a spokeswoman for the Tarrant County district attorney’s office. “It is not acceptable to fire upon police officers acting in the line of duty.”
