Officials with the Fresno Police Department say toxicology reports showed Spoors had illegal and prescription drugs in their system at the time of the crash.

The Fresno County District Attorney's Office filed a murder case against Spoors on Thursday.

Fresno State placed Spoors on investigatory leave in October after the crash.

Spoors' contract with the university ended last week.
