YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to file any charges against Ivan Gallegos, the University of Southern California student accused of stabbing a homeless man to death.

"After careful consideration and a thorough review of all available evidence, we have decided not to pursue charges against USC student Ivan Gallegos," LA County DA George Gascón said in a statement. "We believe that Mr. Gallegos’s actions were driven by a genuine fear for his life and the lives of others."

On June 17, Gallegos and two of his peers reportedly witnessed a homeless man attempting to break into multiple cars along Greek Row. The three USC students then attempted to confront him when the situation took a violent turn. At some point, Gallegos allegedly stabbed him.

The unsheltered resident reportedly had a gun and his friends claimed Gallegos acted in self-defense. The name of the homeless man has not been released by authorities.

Gallegos was profiled by Annenberg Media, a student-run platform. The story highlighted how the East LA native is a first-generation Latino student studying at USC’s Marshall School of Business. In addition, he has a passion for music and philanthropy. Gallegos has no criminal record and is set to be released at a later date.

LiveNOW's Andrew Craft spoke about the development with FOX 11's Susan Hirasuna.
