The state attorney general has decided it won’t pursue charges against a deputy sheriff who fatally shot a homeless man during a struggle at the Hawaii Capitol in February.

Krishna Jarayam, special assistant to Attorney General Clare Connors, said in an email that there was insufficient evidence to press charges against the deputy, who shot Delmar Espejo in the back at close range, killing him the night of Feb. 18.

Jarayam said that Esepjo’s family has been notified of the office’s decision.

The Honolulu Police Department had been investigating the case as a possible second-degree murder. The department referred the case to city prosecutors in June. The AG’s office took over the prosecution shortly after since it involved a state officer.

State officials have declined to release the deputy’s name. Public Safety Director Nolan Espinda said in February that the deputy has been with the department since May 2017.

Espejo and the deputy sheriff got into an altercation after Espejo, who was holding an open container of alcohol, refused to leave the Capitol grounds, Espinda said in February. He said security cameras didn’t catch footage of the incident.

Espejo’s family retained attorney Myles Breiner shortly after the incident. Breiner and the family have tried to on DPS’s account.

They’ve said in interviews that Espejo was physically disabled. An autopsy report said he stood just 5-foot-3 and weighed 117 pounds.

The February shooting case may still be reviewed by the , which is supposed to evaluate criminal investigations into incidents of officer-involved deaths.

The AG’s announcement comes after a similar decision by Maui County prosecutors last Wednesday.

The prosecutors said they wouldn’t press charges against an Oahu Community Correctional Center guard who shot escaped detainee Maurice Arrisgado Jr. The prosecutor’s office cited a that allows jail guards to shoot escapees.
