Washington Man Charged with Murder After Mistaking Teen's Airsoft Gun for Real Firearm
Aaron Brown Myers, 51, shot 17-year-old Hazrat Ali Rohani seven times outside a sporting goods store in Renton, believing he was preventing a robbery.
- Myers, an off-duty security guard, confronted three teens, suspecting them of planning a robbery.
- Surveillance footage contradicts Myers' claim that he acted in self-defense.
- Myers had a history of misinterpreting situations and acting on perceived threats.
- Prosecutors argue Myers' 'self-imposed duty to intervene' poses a public safety risk.
- Myers is held on $2 million bail with his arraignment set for June 24.
