There will be no charges filed in a confrontation that turned deadly in Farmville.
Ellis Hunter died Sunday from injuries he received a week ago on Main Street in Farmville. Police say Hunter was shot twice after a fight with William Payton. Payton was also stabbed.
Based on witnesses and evidence collected, police say Hunter went to Payton's vehicle and started stabbing him through the window. Payton managed to get out of the vehicle and was able to get a pistol and shoot Hunter.
Police say Wednesday they met with District Attorney Clark Everette who decided that the death was a case of self defense.

This is awful, and it's terrible that someone's life is gone because of something so senseless. But please remember as you are commenting, that EACH of these boys is someone's son, brother and friend. Ellis's family feels a loss right now, and it's not stupid to encourage his family to be strong during their time of bereavement. Our prayers should go out to both families, and to the community.

Just wanted to say this is definetely not the first time someone died in Farmville over $5.00, and its just plain stupid to fight over something so small and lose your life. R.I.P Lee cruz.

Mean someone shot somebody and they didn't get arrested and take his gun? I'm glad to you can still defend yourself.
