Philadelphia, PA — This week, Pennsylvania state Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced that no charges will be filed against Officer Richard Nicoletti, who was seen on video executing an unarmed father of three by shooting him in the head at point blank range as he was surrounded by police.

Jeffrey Dennis, 36, was gunned down in broad daylight by Nicoletti, a 29-year-veteran assigned to the Narcotics Field Unit of the Philadelphia police department. Police were preparing to serve a search warrant on Dennis’ home over alleged drug dealing when they found him on the road and murdered him.

Shapiro launched an investigation into Dennis’ killing in August just after it took place.

“My office conducted a thorough four-month review of this case, interviewing witnesses, examining video footage, and analyzing all available evidence,” Shapiro said in a statement. “We applied the facts to Pennsylvania law, and accordingly, no criminal charges against Richard Nicoletti will be filed by my office.”

The family is heartbroken that the officer who needlessly killed their son/father/fiance will not face charges.

Dennis was a father to three children — ages 7, 11, and 17 — and had just been engaged to be married. After he was killed, his family demanded that Nicoletti be fired and charged, but this will not happen…..more here
