MINNEAPOLIS – Minneapolis prosecutors say there will be no charges filed against a pawn shop owner in the fatal shooting of another man during unrest following the death of George Floyd.
Calvin Horton Jr. was found shot outside Cadillac Pawn & Jewelry on May 27 and he died at a hospital.
Authorities arrested the pawn shop owner but released him without charges.
Prosecutors said Monday that there’s not enough evidence to prove that the shooting wasn’t self-defense. Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman’s office says video was destroyed and only one witness cooperated.
Prosecutors will reconsider charges if additional evidence comes forward.
