MIAMI (WSVN) - No criminal charges will be filed against a Miami Police Officer who was involved in a police-involved shooting.
The police-involved shooting took place in March of last year, when Officer Kassandra Mercado shot Donald Armstrong as he was experiencing a mental health episode.
The Miami-Dade Attorney’s Office has concluded that Officer Mercado was justified in shooting the subject because, according to investigators, he was wielding a sharp object during the confrontation, refusing to relinquish the weapon even after being tased twice.
Armstrong has since recovered after being shot six times.
