Webb fell backward and Jimenez called 911.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Jimenez was emotional, visibly upset, and cried when relating to the police what had occurred. He stated that he was sorry that he had been forced to shoot Mr. Webb,&#8221; according to a police report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/springfield-armory-announces-release-of-10-round-hellcat-pro-for-restricted-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"arkansas-prosecutor-will-not-charge-fort-smith-man-who-shot-knife-wielding-invader\" title=\"Arkansas Prosecutor Will Not Charge Fort Smith Man Who Shot Knife-Wielding Invader\">Springfield Armory Announces Release of 10-Round Hellcat Pro for Restricted Markets<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once officers arrived, Webb was pronounced dead of a gunshot wound to his abdomen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shue said in a letter to Police Chief Danny Baker that his opinion is that Jimenez was justified in the shooting of Webb under the <a href=\"https:\/\/casetext.com\/statute\/arkansas-code-of-1987\/title-5-criminal-offenses\/subtitle-1-general-provisions\/chapter-2-principles-of-criminal-liability\/subchapter-6-justification\/section-5-2-607-use-of-deadly-physical-force-in-defense-of-a-person#:~:text=2023%20Regular%20Session.-,Section%205%2D2%2D607%20%2D%20Use%20of%20deadly%20physical%20force,Using%20or%20about%20to%20use\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"arkansas-prosecutor-will-not-charge-fort-smith-man-who-shot-knife-wielding-invader\" title=\"Arkansas Prosecutor Will Not Charge Fort Smith Man Who Shot Knife-Wielding Invader\">state law governing the use of deadly force<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI find it objectively reasonable that Mr. Jimenez felt it necessary to employ deadly force to defend himself from a perceived imminent threat of great bodily injury or death that was presented by Mr. Webb,\u201d Shue said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProbable cause to charge Mr. Jimenez with a criminal act does not exist. Mr. Jimenez was in imminent danger and was required to make a split-second decision to exercise deadly force,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shue said he came to the decision to not prosecute Jiminez based on a review of the entire investigative file and the autopsy report.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Considering the totality of the circumstances, Avelino Jimenez had a reasonable belief that Jacob Webb had committed the offenses of residential burglary, terroristic threatening in the first degree and aggravated assault, that he was actively committing the offense of attempted murder in the first degree and that he was presently armed and dangerous,&#8221; Shue said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Jimenez sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
