Former University of Cincinnati Police Officer Ray Tensing pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of Samuel DuBose.
Tensing fatally shot DuBose during a July 19 traffic stop over an alleged missing license tag. The former officer said he was forced to fire his weapon after almost being run over.
Video of the shooting, caught on Tensing's body camera, appears to contradict his version of events. While announcing charges in the case Wednesday, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters called the shooting "asinine" and "totally unwarranted."
