The death of their 19-year-old son has one family asking the federal government to investigate his death.
Da’Shawn Tye, 19, allegedly tried to rob Mages Grocery on Glenway Avenue back on Nov. 19, 2020. On the day of the fatal shooting, Tye backed the owner into a corner, so the owner got his gun and shot Tye, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said in December.
Tye ran from the store and was later found by police with multiple gunshot wounds. He would later die at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters said no charges would be filed against the store owner, whom the prosecutor said was acting in self-defense. |

Immaterial. The victim has no obligation to demonstrate anything but the fact that he reasonably believed his life to be in immediate danger of death or egregious bodily harm.
The prosecutor has no obligation to demonstrate anything but the fact that the victim's perception was plausible pursuant to the "another reasonable person" test.
The prosecutor could have claimed that the deceased was a shape-shifting reptoid and it would have made no difference.
This is a case of the "But my dog never bit anyone before." whine. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
