In the video obtained by 12 News, the troopers can be heard laughing in the background. One of the troopers recorded the short clip on a cell phone and posted it on Snapchat. Alex Montesino (Courtesy: Frank Vidal) Montesino's uncle, Frank Vidal, told 12 News his nephew's twin sister stumbled upon the video the day before her brother's 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." BACKGROUND: Man’s family seeks justice after state troopers share footage of his death Vidal called for the troopers to be fired. "That’s the minimum that should happen," he said. "There has to be accountability." State police said the troopers were part of the 2024 academy class and violated division policies. "We are deeply disappointed that these recently hired Troopers displayed such poor judgment and lacked empathy for this family’s tragedy," Col. Darnell Weaver said in a statement. "These individuals are no longer employed by the state police, and we will not comment further as they are not employed by the Division." This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
