A grand jury declined Tuesday to indict a police officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager on a Brooklyn rooftop, prosecutors said.

The state grand jury did not find Police Officer Richard Neri "criminally responsible" for the Jan. 24 shooting death of 19-year-old Timothy Stansbury Jr., Kings County District Attorney Charles Hynes said.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly has called the shooting unjustified and authorities had expected an indictment in the shooting.

Neri, who fired one shot into Stansbury's chest as the teen opened a door leading to a rooftop landing, has said that he didn't remember firing a gun and said the shooting was unintentional.
