Pennsylvania’s Greensburg. Daniel Chicka, 65, was shot dead after an altercation in the Borough of Export on June 18, 2024, but the Westmoreland County District Attorney’s Office has declared that it will not press criminal charges.
Following a thorough investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police and a thorough analysis by prosecutors, including District Attorney Nicole W. Ziccarelli, the decision was made. According to the authorities, Chicka’s neighbor Matthew Miller acted in self-defense during the Madison Avenue fatality.
According to the video evidence that detectives examined, Miller pulled out a gun and aimed it at Chicka after they had a verbal altercation. Miller then retaliated by shooting Chicka with several shots from his own gun.
According to Ziccarelli, the law recognizes people’s legal right to defend oneself and others from impending serious bodily harm. Although I sincerely apologize for the loss experienced by Mr. Chicka’s family, I am dedicated to settling issues in accordance with the law and the facts.
While expressing sympathy to Chicka’s family, the district attorney’s office made it clear that the judgment was supported by solid evidence and legal precedents.
