The Guilford County District Attorney's office said after reviewing the shooting death of Fred Cox Jr., the decision was made to send the case to a grand jury.
Police said 18-year-old Fred Cox was shot by an off-duty, plain-clothed detective from Davidson County in November.
On Wednesday, a grand jury decided not to bring forth charges.
Elon law professor Steve Friedland said the job of a grand jury is to look at the case and decide whether there's enough evidence to charge the person in question.
Friedland said grand jury rules can vary from state to state, just as laws do. In North Carolina, a grand jury typically consists of 18 people. Friedland said just 12 of the 18 people on the jury are needed to support the charges of a crime.
All of it is done under oath, in secrecy.
