Ron Ely challenges Santa Barbara district attorney after fatal shooting of his son deemed 'justifiable'
The attorney representing “Tarzan" actor Ron Ely and his family is challenging the Santa Barbara County District Attorney in California after it recently ruled the fatal shooting of his son a "justifiable homicide." Attorney John Burris said in a news conference Thursday that Cameron Ely never claimed to have a gun before deputies opened fire in the 2019 confrontation. He said Cameron Ely surrendered with his hands up.
