Johannes Mehserle, the former police officer seen on tape shooting a face-down, unarmed Oscar Grant in the back, has officially been charged with murder.



Mehserle was arrested Tuesday night (January 13) in Zephyr Cove, Nevada.



The New Year's Day shooting has sparked outrage and protests in the city of Oakland, with many accusing BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) of having a history of racially motivated violence against young black men.



In 1992, a BART policeman shot 19 year-old Jerrold Hall in the back after the teenager attempted to flee a parking lot.



Although Hall was unarmed, the officer was acquitted on the grounds that he felt threatened Hall would return with a weapon.
