California Jogger Charged with Manslaughter for Shooting Homeless Man

Craig Sumner Elliott, who filmed the incident, faces up to 21 years in prison if convicted.

Craig Sumner Elliott, a 68-year-old jogger in California, has been charged with felony voluntary manslaughter for fatally shooting a homeless man, Antonio Garcia Avalos, who was sleeping on a sidewalk.
Elliott allegedly filmed the incident, which began when he tried to wake Avalos by nudging him with a pushcart he was carrying during his jog.
The video reportedly shows Avalos throwing a shoe at Elliott, who then retrieved a gun from his pushcart and shot Avalos three times.
Elliott, who had an active concealed carry permit at the time of the shooting, was arrested on November 17 and released on bail three days later.
He is scheduled to be arraigned on December 15 and faces a maximum sentence of 21 years in state prison if convicted.
