PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Rhode Island State Police is mulling how to discipline the troopers who shared disturbing footage of a deadly pedestrian crash on social media. The footage, obtained by 12 News, shows the moment 21-year-old Alex Montesino was hit and killed by a car while crossing I-95 back in October. An eight-second clip of that footage was then recorded on a cell phone and shared by a state trooper via Snapchat. Laughter and explicit language can be heard in the background of the clip, which later went viral. Alex Montesino (Courtesy: Frank Vidal) Frank Vidal, Montesino's uncle, told 12 News his nephew's twin sister came across the footage online the day before his funeral. "You can clearly hear them laughing and mocking his last minutes left on this earth," Vidal said. "We were just horrified. I mean, there's no words." Vidal described his sister seeing that footage as being the "worst-case scenario." "I can't even begin to describe the bond those two shared," Vidal said. "She told me she's lost a piece of her." In a statement to 12 News, Lt. Col. Robert Creamer said the Rhode Island State Police's Professional Standards Unit began investigating the clip's origin as soon as it was brought to their attention. Creamer said that investigation has since concluded and the Rhode Island State Police is "in the process of determining the appropriate discipline" for the troopers who recorded and disseminated the footage. "The behavior exhibited by the troopers involved does not reflect the values of the Rhode Island State Police," Creamer wrote. "Our thoughts are with the grieving family." Vidal believes that the troopers involved should be fired and undergo psychological evaluations. "That's the minimum that should happen," Vidal said. "There has to be accountability." "How are you so disconnected from human life? How can you dehumanize somebody? It makes no sense," he continued. "It's scary knowing that [these troopers] out there patrolling our roads and highways." Vidal said it's been extremely difficult for his family to grieve their loss, especially now that the footage is out there. "It's online, there's no escaping it," Vidal said. "It's a never ending nightmare because the internet is forever." Alex Montesino (Courtesy: Frank Vidal) Vidal doesn't want his nephew to be remembered by how he died, but instead by how he lived. "He was just a vibrant and outgoing person," he continued. "There's just a void now that can never be replaced or filled." Montesino loved spending time with his family and listening to music. He also had a passion for cooking, according to Vidal. "No one could make a better baked mac and cheese than he could," Vidal said. Vidal confirmed that his family received a letter from the Rhode Island State Police earlier this month regarding the investigation. But the letter left them with more questions than answers, since Vidal said the Rhode Island State Police couldn't tell them when and how the troopers would be disciplined. "We're not happy with that," Vidal said. "We want justice. We want [Montesino] to be remembered as more than just a viral video. We want him to be known for who he was." Rhode Island State Police has not released the names of the troopers who recorded the footage. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Daily Roundup SIGN UP NOW
