The man accused of fatally shooting another man in a Walmart parking lot last week was acting in self defense and won't be charged, according to prosecutors.

The Weld County District Attorney’s Office says the man accused of shooting and killing another man in the parking lot of a Longmont Walmart last month was acting in self-defense and will not face any charges.

Joseph Anderson, 34, was arrested by Loveland Police last week following a multi-day manhunt.

He initially faced second-degree murder charges in the death of 33-year-old Keith Williams.

According to prosecutors, Anderson was meeting with Williams’ ex-girlfriend in the Walmart parking lot in during the early morning hours of July 23 when Williams showed up and appeared “angry.”

Investigators say Williams proceeded to pick up a 16-inch tire thumper and “aggressively approach” Anderson. Surveillance video showed the two in a brief fight before Anderson fired one shot, hitting Williams in the chest.

The shooting sparked a manhunt for Anderson, whose vehicle was impounded by Westminster Police after he was named as a suspect.

He was ultimately arrested Wednesday evening, but since the charges were dropped, is no longer in custody.
