"After consulting with the Clay County prosecutor's office, the homeowner was released pending further investigation due to the need to obtain a formal statement from the victim, forensic evidence and compile additional information for a case file to be presented," Graves said.
Asked if the shooting was "racially motivated," Graves said there's "no indication," but added it's "still an active investigation" and "as a chief of police, I do recognize the racial components of this case."MORE: Court overturns California man's murder conviction, citing state's new 'rap lyrics' law
