A Newton police officer is facing murder charges after shooting an unarmed 21-year-old man.

Prosecutors said there were three separate chases involving motorcyclist Camden Childers. He can be seen on video along Highway 70 where police cruisers follow him down. 

Prosecutors said Newton Police lieutenant Carlos Uribe, who was also on the county swat team, shot Childers after Childers struck his patrol car. 

Prior to the shooting, they said Childers’s hands were in the air and he did not have a weapon. 

Prosecutors said at one point Uribe kicked Childers in the stomach and then shot him in the chest while Childers’s arms were behind his back, saying “That’s what you get when you go for an officer’s gun.”

But the district attorney says after reviewing body and dash cam videos and interviews, he concluded the deadly use of force was not legally justified. 

The DA said, “Justice is about fairness, due process and equal application of the law. No one is above the law, and no one is beneath its protection.”

Uribe has been charged for second degree murder. 

Local journalists are working to obtain dash cam video of the incident.
