A Le Sueur County sheriff’s deputy won’t be charged in the July shooting death of an unarmed Kasota man, a grand jury decided.

The grand jury deliberated for about two hours Friday night after hearing testimony in the death of Tyler Heilman. The 24-year-old was wearing only swimming trunks when Deputy Todd Waldron shot him twice in the chest during a July 20 arrest attempt.

Waldron was not in uniform, and Heilman’s friends say he never identified himself as a deputy when he pulled over Heilman, who had been swimming at an apartment complex and allegedly speeding and driving erratically on the way home. The incident happened in Kasota, which is about 60 miles southwest of Minneapolis.

The grand jury had been asked to consider charges of second-degree intentional murder and second-degree unintentional murder against Waldron.

The grand jury’s decision was unwelcome to Heilman’s friends.

“It’s ridiculous. I’m in shock right now,” Amber Hagan said. “I don’t feel like Tyler gets justice.”

Assistant Anoka County Attorney Andrew Johnson, who handled the case, said some details about what happened have yet to emerge. He said some witnesses to the shootings gave accounts that differed from Heilman’s friends.

Johnson said that he may release more details on what happened in a few weeks.

Heilman’s family has said they are considering filing civil charges against Waldron.
