A grand jury saw fit to disregard the audio recording that showed the officer arresting the three men without causing them any injury or harm. The officers' dashcam video captured McKinney's deadly mistake as he opened fired, hitting one of the men in the head with a gun pointed at his forehead. Frank McKinney, the deceased victim, suffered a severe brain injury due to the police officer's mistake.
