Shawn Amelio said when Alchaar got out of the car, he got out of the vehicle as well, yelling, “Hey, stop” as Alchaar ran away.

“Defendant Shawn Amelio stated that he observed the gun in Khaled’s right hand and noted that his right arm was being raised up. Defendant Shawn Amelio indicated that Khaled did not fire a shot, just pointed the gun at him.

“(Amelio) stated that as Khaled was turning, he began to draw his gun,” the complaint states. “(Amelio) stated that he fired off one shot from his gun.”

The complaint states that Amelio did not believe he had shot Alchaar because Alchaar ran away. It states they learned later through social media that Alchaar had died.

Gun not found

According to the complaint, a couple with two daughters were walking across the parking lot at Cheddar’s when they heard gunfire and saw a man, later identified as Alchaar, running toward them from the west end of the parking lot.

As the family tried to run back to their car, one of the daughters “and Khaled were face-to-face within a few feet of each other and close enough to have almost collided.”
