The two University of Cincinnati police officers, who were called to the scene when another officer fatally shot an unarmed black man last month during a traffic stop, will not face charges.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced on Friday that Phillip Kidd and David Lindenschmidt were not indicted by a grand jury in the July 19 shooting of Samuel DuBose by ex-officer Ray Tensing, reports The New York Daily News.

Kidd and Lindenschmidt had arrived to the scene of the shooting after Tensing shot DuBose in the head.

Tensing, on the other hand, was indicted on murder and voluntary manslaughter charges last week in the death of the 43-year-old victim. The 25-year-old white officer appeared in court on Thursday and was withheld on a $1 million jail bond. However, he was then released from jail later that day after making bond, reports Reuters.

Tensing, who is scheduled to return to court on Aug. 19, faces life in prison if found guilty.

Video footage from Tensing's body camera shows that the cop stopped DuBose over a missing license tag. However, at one point during the traffic stop, DuBose appeared to put his key back into the ignition of his car to drive away. That's when Tensing reached into his car and commanded him to stop. The officer then pulled his gun out and opened fire.

Tensing argues that the shooting was justified because he thought DuBose was going to run him over.

In the video, Tensing tells Kidd and Lindenschmidt that he was being dragged by DuBose's car, while Kidd agreed and said that he saw him being dragged.

However, the two officers denied that they witnessed the shooting in the official statements that they submitted to authorities.

"These officers have been truthful and honest about what happened and no charges are warranted," said Deters in a statement, according to The Washington Post.

The cops were placed on administrative leave on Thursday.

In the meantime, Tensing's attorney, Stew Mathews, told reporters Tensing had feared for his life.

"The guy jams the keys in the ignition," Mathews told CNN. "Turns the car on, jams it (into) drive and mashes the accelerator. He wasn't slowly pulling away. (Tensing) feared for his life. He thought he was going to be sucked under the car that was pulling away from him. He thought he was going to get sucked under and killed."

Deters, however, contends that Tensing was not dragged by DuBose's car.

"I've been doing this for over 30 years. This is the most asinine act I've ever seen a police officer make -- totally unwarranted," Deters said at a news conference. "It's an absolute tragedy in the year 2015 that anyone would behave in this manner. It was senseless."

Deters added that, "People want to believe that Mr. DuBose had done something violent towards the officer -- he did not. He did not at all. I feel so sorry for his family and what they lost, and I feel sorry for the community, too. I think he was making an excuse for a purposeful killing."
