Jury Acquits Rick Chow of Murder in Gas Station Shooting
Rick Chow has been acquitted of murder charges in the shooting death of 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton. Carmack-Belton was shot in the back on May 28, 2023, after being pursued by Chow and his son, who accused the teen of shoplifting. Despite Chow’s claim that Carmack-Belton possessed a gun, surveillance footage did not support the theft allegation. After serving three years in prison, a jury reached a unanimous not guilty verdict following eight hours of deliberation.
