Washington State safety Shalom Luani will not be charged with assault, Whitman County Prosecutor Denis Tracy announced Monday afternoon.
Tracy’s decision was the opposite of the recommendation the Pullman Police Department made after it concluded its investigation into the case that occurred August 24, in which Luani, a WSU senior, was accused of breaking a man’s nose outside a Domino’s Pizza in Pullman.
The victim, a man named Kyle Medina, was named in a letter Tracy wrote and released to the press on Monday, announcing his decision.
In his letter, Tracy wrote that there was enough evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Luani hit Medina once, with a fist to the nose.
