The Pima County Attorney's Office has deemed the March 3 fatal shooting of a 21-year-old-man by a near North Side resident as justifiable.
Killed was Charles Alvin Eisner, police said. Sgt. Decio Hopffer, a police spokesman, refused to identify the man who shot Eisner, because the shooter has not been charged with a crime.
Eisner was shot before dawn after the occupant of a home near East Fort Lowell Road and North First Avenue heard noises in his carport, went to investigate and spotted a stranger, said Rick Unklesbay, chief trial counsel for the County Attorney's Office.
Unklesbay said the resident went back into the house to put on clothing and when he turned around he found the intruder in his home, and shot him.
A review of the police investigation led to a determination the shooting was justifiable, Unklesbay said.
