A Southern California man accused of fatally shooting a homeless man and filming it has been charged with felony voluntary manslaughter, prosecutors said.
Craig Sumner Elliott, 68, was jogging with two dogs and a pushcart in Garden Grove, Calif., on Sept. 28 when he confronted the man who was asleep on a sidewalk and blocking his path, officials said in a statement this week.

Elliott nudged Antonio Garcia Avalos, 40, with the pushcart, which prompted Avalos to throw a shoe at him, the Orange County District Attorney's Office said in the statement.
Elliott ducked, retrieved a gun from the pushcart, and fired three shots, the DA said. "Elliott is accused of recording Avalos and grabbing a handgun from his pushcart," the office said.
Garden Grove police responded to the afternoon incident about 1 mile west of Disneyland, according to a statement from the department that day. The victim was rushed to a hospital, where he died, it said.
On Friday, Garden Grove police arrested Elliott based on a warrant, the D.A.'s office said. He was released after posting $100,000 bail, prosecutors said.
The case against him includes "one felony enhancement of personal use of a firearm," an element that could add time if he's convicted.
Elliott had an active "concealed carry," prosecutors said. California police and sheriff's departments are tasked with issuing permits to those who present a compelling need to carry such hidden firearms.

​

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the provision of the state's concealed carry law that required applicants to state a valid reason for their application, such as ongoing threats.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department, said by prosecutors to have approved Elliott's permit, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It wasn't clear if the suspect had retained counsel for the case.
A phone message left via a line associated with Elliott's address was not immediately returned.
The Orange County District Attorney's Office said if he's successfully convicted, Elliott could face a 21-year state prison sentence.
"This case is a stark reminder that taking the law into your own hands is never the answer and that there are consequences for your actions," Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in his department's statement.

"He was released after posting $100,000 bail, prosecutors said."

Its amazing how idiotic the system is. He literally killed a man for no reason and they still saw fit to give him bail.

 

[Astroslik]

$100k bail so he was out for around $10k

Don't buy a gun without having a thorough understanding of self defense laws in your state.

And every situation doesn't immediately call for lethal force

Imagine if he had a can of pepper spray instead of a gun, he could a still popped off and it prolly never gets to police, he walks away free. Homeless guy can't do shyt if he can't see properly

Or you can just go around the homeless person and avoid the situation entirely

That’s what’s wrong with this country. He should be immediately put to death, and all of his assets seized and given to the victims family. Case closed.

But this will drag on for a year or longer, tax payer money wasted and end the end he will be back on the street after servicing no more than 7 years.

This CAC is a threat to society. Period. He knew what he was doing.

No Mention Of Murder

 

[ORDER_66]

why the fukk was he even given bail in the first place for murder???

 

[T-K-G]

Or you can just go around the homeless person and avoid the situation entirely

Obviously we could say that about 90% of altercations

I have no idea why he felt like he couldn't go around him, but regardless, you swap the gun out with something else and at least both parties make outta the situation

 

[Voice of Reason]

I know it is an old entitled cracker before reading the article.

 

[Buddy]

Who the hell goes jogging and decides midway "Imma kill this person AND record it"???




I get worried I'm fukking up my time just skipping songs and they KILLED someone?!

But what about my freedom to murder my fellow man. The NRA told me the second ammendment gives me the right to cosplay as frank castle.
