Officers involved in the fatal shooting of a man in a controversial 2009 shooting won’t face federal civil criminal charges, the Justice Department announced Friday night.

The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania investigated the June 8, 2009 shooting of Trey Joyner by U.S. Park Police and found there wasn’t enough evidence to charge officers. Joyner was killed in NW D.C. in the Trinidad neighborhood.

The D.C. office recused itself from the investigation.

Joyner’s family had pushed authorities to put the officers involved in the incident on trial. Witnesses said that police didn’t announce themselves and shot Joyner, 25, in the back.

The Justice Department on Friday stated that detectives wanted to question Joyner over a homicide investigation.

Authorities stopped Joyner’s vehicle and he fled. Civilian and police witnesses either saw or heard Joyner’s gun hitting the ground. Joyner then picked the gun off the ground, the Justice Department said.

Joyner then got into a struggle with an officer and at pointed the gun at the officer, the Justice Department stated.

The detective then fired his gun at Joyner, shooting him in the torso. A loaded gun was found near where Joyner was shot.

“Contrary to some civilian witness statements that Mr. Joyner was shot in the back as he was fleeing, the autopsy revealed wounds to Mr. Joyner consistent with the officers' version that Mr. Joyner spun around following an initial close-range shot during a struggle,” the Justice Department stated.
