GRAPEVINE

More than 200 people clogged Grapevine City Hall on Tuesday night, chanting “Hands up, don’t shoot!” to protest the recent shooting of a Mexican national by a Grapevine police officer.

Ruben García Villalpando, 31, of North Richland Hills was shot to death by Grapevine police officer Robert Clark after a brief pursuit that ended on the shoulder of a Texas 121 service road in Euless.

Grapevine police said Clark shot García in the chest twice on Feb. 20 after he got out of his vehicle with his hands up and continued to walk toward Clark even though he was “repeatedly told to stop.”

At one point, García asked Clark, “Are you going to kill me?” García’s brother-in-law Fernando Romero, told the Star-Telegram. A police spokesman confirmed that the officer used profanity before shooting García.
