The death of Justin King, a Black and Filipino man who was fatally shot Nov. 3 in rural Missouri, was ruled a justifiable homicide in an inquest Tuesday after months of outcry from the community.
King, 28, was shot by his neighbor in a trailer park community in Bourbon, about 75 miles southwest of St. Louis.
The ruling comes more than two months after his death and after his family and neighbors contested the police narrative of events.
Six county residents were presented with evidence and heard from witnesses about the case at the Crawford County Courthouse to help the coroner determine the manner of death.
