OROVILLE — The Butte County District Attorney’s Office has decided not to charge an Oroville homeowner with homicide after a shooting that occurred Tuesday.
The shooting resulted in the death of 29-year-old Oroville resident Bruce Pagenkopp on Tuesday morning, but according to a press release issued Thursday by the DA’s Office, there wasn’t sufficient evidence to prove that the alleged shooter, 54-year-old Darren Moran, had committed a homicide.
“Based upon the totality of the current evidence, and given our burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Moran did not have a reasonable self-defense argument, we will not be filing homicide charges,” District Attorney Mike Ramsey said.
