The family of Samuel Dubose broke out in applause after a judge set the bond for Officer Ray Tensing, who shot the unarmed black man earlier this month.
A judge set a $1 million bond on Thursday for former University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing, who was charged with murder and voluntary manslaughter for fatally shooting an unarmed black man, Samuel Dubose, earlier this month. Tensing pleaded not guilty at his arraignment hearing at the Hamilton County Court.
A grand jury indicted Tensing for murder Wednesday for shooting and killing Dubose during a traffic stop on July 19. If convicted of all charges, Tensing faces life in prison.
Tensing pulled over 43-year-old Dubose for a missing front license plate. After a brief struggle with the car door, it appeared that Dubose had started slowly rolling away when Tensing fatally shot the unarmed driver once in the head.
Dubose died instantly, in what Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters called a "totally unwarranted" act and a "tragedy." Deters also strongly criticized Tensing on Wednesday, saying, he committed the "most asinine act I've ever seen a police officer make."
