No charges filed against USC student accused in homeless man's killing | LiveNOW from FOX

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to file any charges against Ivan Gallegos, the University of Southern California student accused of stabbing a homeless man to death.

"After careful consideration and a thorough review of all available evidence, we have decided not to pursue charges against USC student Ivan Gallegos," LA County DA George Gascón said in a statement. "We believe that Mr. Gallegos’s actions were driven by a genuine fear for his life and the lives of others."

On June 17, Gallegos and two of his peers reportedly witnessed a homeless man attempting to break into multiple cars along Greek Row. The three USC students then attempted to confront him when the situation took a violent turn. At some point, Gallegos allegedly stabbed him.

The unsheltered resident reportedly had a gun and his friends claimed Gallegos acted in self-defense. The name of the homeless man has not been released by authorities.

Gallegos was profiled by Annenberg Media, a student-run platform. The story highlighted how the East LA native is a first-generation Latino student studying at USC’s Marshall School of Business. In addition, he has a passion for music and philanthropy. Gallegos has no criminal record and is set to be released at a later date.

LiveNOW's Andrew Craft spoke about the development with FOX 11's Susan Hirasuna.
