A newspaper report states the Austin Police Monitor's "Citizen's Review Panel" has recommended firing the Austin police officer who shot and killed Daniel Rocha.

The report, from the Austin American-Statesman, says the panel came up with that recommendation after meeting Oct. 31.

Rocha, 18, was shot dead by officer Julie Schroeder in June. A grand jury decided Schroeder did not violate any laws in the incident.

But many people at the Oct. 31 meeting called for a new independent investigation into the shooting. They also wanted more discipline for officer Schroeder.

The Austin Police Association would not confirm details of the newspaper report.

The association's president Mike Sheffield is upset the report was leaked and wants to know how it happened.

The leak is a political move to put pressure on Police Chief Stan Knee, Sheffield said.

There is no evidence Officer Schroeder violated any policies regarding the use of force, Sheffield said.

The Statesman article also says the Citizen's Review Panel recommended Sgt. Don Doyle lose rank over the shooting. Doyle was Schroeder's partner at the scene.

Schroeder told the grand jury she shot Rocha because she believed he was going to hurt Doyle.

APD confirmed they've received the Citizen's Review Panel recommendations but would not comment.
