None of the officers who discharged their weapons were familiar with Perez or his disabilities, according to the investigation.
Victor Perez was shot by officers who had responded to a report of a disturbance involving a man armed with a knife.
According to the AG, the struggle between the teen and his family continued for 13 minutes before officers arrived.
“The Office of the Attorney General’s role in this matter is limited to reviewing the investigation for potential criminal charges against the officers.
Our decision means the officers will not face criminal charges under Idaho law,” Jeff Nye, deputy attorney general, chief, criminal law division, wrote.
