Officer Won't Face Charges in Fatal Shooting
Description
Phoenix police officer Jason Valenzuela wont face criminal charges for fatally shooting a father in his own home, mistaking him for the intruder. Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell cleared the officer, citing reasonable fear for imminent danger. The fathers heroic act of shielding his loved ones was acknowledged, and the family filed a notice of claim for $25 million. The actual intruder, Ledezma Garcia, faces heavy felony charges, including first-degree murder, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
