A Harris County Grand Jury indicted Rigoberto Saldivar, a 20-year veteran of the Pasadena Police Department at the time of the shooting, on one count of aggravated assault by a public servant.
The shooting happened outside of an O'Reilly's auto parts store in Pasadena on Jan. 12, 2021, after Saldivar conducted a traffic stop on a car that had committed a red-light infraction, police said.
According to Pasadena PD, the stop ultimately ended in the non-fatal shooting of 35-year-old Randy Aviles.
Aviles was unarmed, but was shot three times. He filed a civil rights lawsuit last year.
Saldivar has been retired since July 9, 2021.
