The Yolo County district attorney says no criminal charges will be filed against three Yolo County Sheriff's deputies involved in a deadly shooting.

Back in April, those deputies fired six shots, killing 26-year-old Luis Gutierrez, a Woodland farm worker.

An autopsy revealed Gutierrez was hit once in the back and that he had meth in his system.

Deputies said the suspect was twisting around, swinging a pocket knife at one of them.

A 37-page district attorney office report and a supporting letter from the attorney general conclude the shooting was justified.

A separate investigation by the FBI is ongoing.

A number of protests have taken place, alleging the shooting constituted racial profiling.
