Jurors last month determined David Villalobos-Denning fired in self-defense when he fatally shot a man in an Auburn park, making him one of at least three people to be found not guilty of murder this year in King County.
Villalobos-Denning, who was found guilty of a firearms charge in the 2020 killing of Hiram Figueroa, was released Friday after spending nearly 2 ½ years in jail. His acquittal comes as rising numbers of people are using guns to settle disputes, officials say, and the standard of legal self-defense continues to evolve.
