DENVER (KDVR) -- The district attorney who reviewed a Douglas County deputy's shooting of an armed man outside a Highlands Ranch Main Event after an active shooter call says the deputy did not violate any laws.
George Brauchler, the 23rd Judicial District Attorney, held a press conference Monday afternoon on his decision whether the deputy was justified in fatally shooting Jalin Seabron on Feb. 8 while he was responding to reports of an active shooting inside the entertainment venue. Seabron was later found to not have been the alleged shooter inside the Main Event; a woman is facing more than 104 charges in that shooting.
Body camera footage released in deadly deputy-involved shooting at Main Event"Given the information that the deputy had, that the deputy was confronted with at the time that he made the decision to use deadly force, I believe that his conclusions were objectively reasonable," Brauchler said. "And so, the question that was, 'Was Deputy Moore's use of deadly physical force a violation or a crime under Colorado law?' My answer is no."
A lawyer representing Seabron's family had claimed body-worn camera footage released in connection to Seabron's shooting showed the deputy was not justified.
The lawyer representing Seabron’s family sent a press release following the release of the footage in March, which said in part, “Today, video footage of the fatal shooting of Jalin Seabron by a Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy has been released, confirming what Jalin’s family has maintained since viewing the footage: this shooting was unjustified, unnecessary, and in direct violation of the Sheriff Office’s own policies and procedures.”
Brauchler's decision means the deputy, which he identified as Nicholas Moore, will not face any charges in connection to Seabron's death.
