The shooting happened on the 3300 block of 25th Ave. S. late Feb. 22.
Martin Lee Johnson, 30, of Minneapolis, was found shot in the chest in the back yard of the residence and died of his injuries at the scene.
Evidence reviewed by investigators shows the 53-year-old homeowner and her 26-year-old son have valid claims to self-defense and won’t be facing criminal charges, according a declination letter Monday from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office.
Most of the incident was captured on a Ring surveillance camera. Minneapolis police officers obtained the footage and provided it to the county attorney’s office for review.
The surveillance video shows Johnson jumping over a six-foot privacy fence that encircles the entire back yard of the home and trying to enter the home through a back patio door, according to the county attorney’s office.
