FORT SMITH, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — UPDATE: March 17 Police have concluded the investigation of the shooting of a home intruder to be justified under Arkansas law.
Avelino Jimenez was the homeowner who called the police after Jacob Webb had broken into his house on Feb. 3. Jimenez told police that Webb busted through his locked door with a knife in hand, according to the police report.
Webb told Jimenez he was going to kill him and attacked him with the knife. Jimenez was able to get out of the fight and pulled his gun and shot him once in the chest, the report states.
Jimenez was treated at Baptist Health for injuries he had.
Sebastian County Prosecutor Daniel Shue concluded that the death of Webb was justified under Arkansas Code Use of Deadly Physical Force in Defense of a Person.
“I find it objectively reasonable that Mr. Jimenez felt it necessary to employ deadly force to defend himself from a perceived imminent threat of great bodily injury or death that was presented by Mr. Webb,” Shue said. “Probable cause to charge Mr. Jimenez with a criminal act does not exist.”
