Unlike that kid that was killed on 880, this Asian community is in the wrong

...and the murder and hate crime charges should be dropped (if true)  :

Murder charge dropped against man indicted for road rage killing of Dallas community leader Jin Shin

The murder charge against Markynn West, who was indicted for the fatal road rage shooting of Dallas community leader Jin Shin, has been dropped, the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office announced last month.

West, 29, acted in self-defense when he fatally shot Shin, 43, in August 2022, his attorney Lesa Pamplin said four days after the charge against West was dismissed by prosecutors.

Pamplin has released surveillance footage, which was shared to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, showing the moments leading up to the death of Shin. Pamplin claimed that Shin was intoxicated and was the first to shoot at the accident scene.

In the video, Shin can be seen pointing his gun at the people surrounding him while West approaches with his own gun. However, it is unclear from the video who fired first.

The lawyer believes that the murder charge against West was “the result of an overzealous district attorney’s office eager to file charges,” blaming the pressure from the Asian American community in Dallas, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

It was a pressure campaign put on to smear my client. That community wanted a hate crime and so they tried to give them a hate crime. He’s been portrayed as a villain. He’s been portrayed as a bad guy. When in actuality he saved some women’s life that night. You don’t want to take anybody’s life, but he had to act. He’s not going around saying anything about the guy (Shin). We have kept quiet until now. He just wants people to know that he’s vindicated.

Fort Worth police arrested West in September 2022, followed by Kameron Taylor in December 2022, Quamon Deshun White on New Year’s Day and Keeton Sheppard in February in relation to the incident.

The altercation started after Shin’s Jeep hit the rear of a sedan, resulting in a minor collision on South University Drive on Aug. 15, 2022. Later, several vehicles pulled up to the scene, including a Chrysler that had West as a passenger.
