- Pysher ended up at the wrong house on Aug. 23 and waited for friends who planned to pick him up.
- According to prosecutors, he approached Farrell with his hands raised, and the officer shot him twice in the chest.
- Prosecutors said Farrell stood behind a car at a safe distance; Pysher was unarmed and a Taser was available.
- Farrell surrendered on Sept. 1; bail was set at $75,000, and his preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 10.
"The investigation found that Cpl. Farrell had less-than-lethal options on his utility belt that he did not employ, including a taser. At the time of the shooting, the officer was a safe distance from Pysher behind a car, and the victim had his hands in the air and did not possess any type of weapon. Mr. Pysher was not a threat. This is not a legal use of deadly force, leading to the charge of Voluntary Manslaughter," Steele said in a news release.— Kevin Steele, Montgomery County District Attorney, in a news release
