(CNN) A Tempe, Arizona, police officer who shot and killed a 14-year-old boy who was holding a replica gun will not be charged in the death, a prosecutor said Friday.

"I do not believe the evidence in this case supports a likelihood of conviction at trial and this office will not be filing criminal charges in this matter," said Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel.

Antonio Arce was shot in January 2019 as he ran down an alley. Tempe police issued body-camera footage of the incident involving the teen and Officer Joseph Jaen.

Jaen was responding to a call from a citizen who reported a suspicious vehicle. In the alley, he approached a parked gray Chevy pickup that was apparently involved in a burglary, Tempe Police Chief Sylvia Moir said last year.

Video from the body camera worn by the officer shows the 14-year-old running away before he was shot.

The video shows the officer taking cover behind a trash can while the teen exits the truck. The officer is heard calling for the teen to put his hands up as the boy runs away.
