Passerby Who Ki.lled Man

Note: we are republishing this story, which originally made the news in February 2017.

A passerby who shot and killed a man who was attacking a Florida sheriff’s deputy will not face criminal charges.The State Attorney’s Office formally cleared Ashad Russell, reports the Daily Mail.

Russell, who has a concealed weapons license, was armed when he emerged from his vehicle to help. Bardes, apparently noticing Russell had a gun, instructed him to shoot Strother. After repeatedly warning Strother to get off Barnes, Russell shot him three times in the neck, killing him.

After reviewing the case, the SAO determined that Russell was “justified in using deadly force when he reasonably believed that the use of such force was necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to Deputy Dean Bardes or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony upon Deputy Bardes. Our agency review is closed and no further action shall be taken by this office based upon the facts presented by this investigation and the applicable law.”

Louis Strother, brother of the deceased, offered a dissenting view, which The Washington Post noted. “They are calling him a good Samaritan?” he asked. “Was my brother armed?”
