He filmed himself killing a man, and case ends in mistrial

Craig Sumner Elliott, 70, of Garden Grove was charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter for the 2023 shooting of Antonio Garcia Avalos.

In charging him, Orange County prosecutors said the confrontation and shooting were a tragic example of someone trying to take the law into their own hands, yet the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict, deadlocking Wednesday 11-1 to convict, according Kimberly Edds, spokesperson for the district attorney's office.

The jury deliberated for 3½ hours before reporting they were deadlocked, Edds said.
