Overview

• District Attorney Brian Mason released the decision Friday after a Critical Incident Response Team review, concluding there was no reasonable likelihood of proving a crime under Colorado law.
• Uniformed Officers Kevin Rodier and Ryan Shamblin arrived in an unmarked truck, ordered Kory Dillard to drop the rifle, and Rodier fired two rounds after Dillard raised it toward the officers.
• Investigators determined the weapon was a battery-powered airsoft replica that lacked the required orange tip, and Dillard later died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
• The decision letter recounts multiple 911 calls reporting an attempted carjacking, threats to bystanders, and states Dillard’s blood alcohol level was more than four times the legal limit.
• Dillard’s family viewed body-camera video Friday, dispute parts of the official account including how he was positioned, and continue to call for stronger mental-health and de-escalation responses.
