Followup NC: No Charges in Shooting, Killing of Daniel Lashawn Wright

HUDSON — No charges will be filed against a Caldwell County man involved in a shooting that led to the death of a 31-year-old Hudson man.


District Attorney David Learner determined after reviewing evidence, witness statements and the investigative findings of the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office that the man who shot and killed Daniel Lashawn Wright acted in self-defense, according to a press release from Learner’s office.


On Feb. 8, Wright engaged in the assault of a physically handicapped family member at the assault victim’s residence.


“After being knocked to the floor while being attacked by Wright, the victim fired one shot from a 9-millimeter handgun that struck and killed his assailant,” the release states.
