The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) says DeLustro was off duty when he shot and killed 39-year-old Michael O’Neal in a Chick-fil-A parking lot on March 20.
After three weeks of an ongoing investigation, talking to eyewitnesses and collecting video evidence, SLED’s lengthy affidavit states DeLustro did not act out of self-defense. Records show O’Neal couldn’t have reasonably been seen as a threat since he was unarmed and tried to leave the altercation multiple times.

Offering the lesser charge of manslaughter for cold blooded murder is disgusting and an insult to his victim
-
You choose to shoot an unarmed man driving away Thats not self defense 😒
-
One murder in 35 years, still makes him a murderer.
-
A regular civilian would not be afforded "forgiveness" under these circumstances!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Isn't it strange that the ones begging for mercy, never give it.
-
Dude broke away from a bystander and went and grabbed his gun and THEN jumped into the other guys car to shoot him????? Guilty as fuck.
-
“Never had one substantiated complaint” He’s been a problem for years but this is the first time he’s being held accountable.
-
Notice he said not one substantiated complaint. Wonder how many “ we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong “ complaints there are?
-
I can't believe he's actually trying the "My career shouldn't be defined by one moment" excuse for a friggin MURDER
-
" I never did anything wrong in my life, never one substantiated complaint against me" until he murdered a man in cold blood over nothing.
-
He’s showing no remorse in this video.
-
Mercy….to take care of his wife and kids. What about the victim's family, who will never see him again it is time these tyrants start to be held for their actions there is no telling how many times he has violated people's rights when wearing the badge
-
They better convict the guy. No manslaughter plea deals either . Thats murder South Carolina
-
The man was driving away. He was shot as he was driving away. This is murder. He needs to be held accountable. 30 years to life sounds justifiable.
-
He’s never had one substantiated complaint. Curious to hear about the unsubstantiated complaints and exactly how those internal “investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing” played out.
-
I could see a plea deal if there was only a small amount of evidence, but this guy climbed into another man's car and shot him. Why even talk about a plea deal?
-
this is what happens when you are never held accountable
-
Witnesses say the off duty cop was the primary aggressor ...that should be enough for the jury to put him away . We need to hold the really bad cops accountable because they make the good ones look bad and that's not good at all. Then you have a situation where no one wants to be a cop
-
Please god do not let this man plea to voluntary manslaughter. This needs to go to trial and he needs to receive the maximum sentence.
-
It was just right down the road where a police officer shot a man in the back running away from him and killed the veteran. These police officers never learn because they have huge egos.
