From what I’ve heard, he was in full retreat when shot. Whether he was just jogging or running away, this cannot be defined as a good shoot.
***************************************************
From what you HEARD? Have you not seen the video? He clearly charged the son and was struggling to take the shotgun from the son for who knows what purpose This is by no means a clear cut case.

I saw the video on yesterday’s evening news. The video showed the polar opposite of what the talking head described. The “jogger” charged at a man pointing a gun at him and tried to wrestle the gun away.

The story presented was that the two men, father and son, were trying to make a citizens arrest of the man who they claimed was responsible for a string of robberies, one of which they had just witnessed and were chasing the suspect. The 2 men might have been 100% wrong about the “victim”, and he may have been innocent. But he charged an armed man and tried to take his gun away. There is no way a jury is going to convict for murder with clear video showing the struggle.

= = =

from the son who took a shotgun in his truck and chased him down

I call that self defense on the Victim’s part.

I saw that video, several questions, who shot it and where has it been for the last two months. Also has it been edited?
I find this tape suspicious.

I'd guess his purpose was self-preservation. If I'm walking or jogging and some stranger points a shotgun at me, I'm going to assume his purpose is to rob me or kill me. Criminals pulling guns on passersby don't get to question the purpose of the people they pull guns on.

Cases are never clear cut.

But, looks to be clear cut act of defense by the deceased.

Three armed men in trucks block him off, get out of the vehicle, point guns at him and their fingers are on. the trigger.

It was fight or flight time.

The two men are going to jail !
