Quinn III said his office has determined that a cab driver acted in self-defense when he shot and killed one of two men trying to rob him during a botched Aug. 10 holdup in New Bedford.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter a thorough investigation, it is clear that the cab driver acted in lawful self-defense and the use of deadly force was justified under the circumstances,\u201d Quinn said in a statement released to the media Wednesday at the Superior Court arraignment of 23-year-old New Bedford resident Kyle S. Dawson, the surviving robbery suspect.<\/p>\n<p>The cab driver for the Yellow Cab Co. picked up Dawson and Christopher Dunton, 24, of New Bedford about 1 a.m. in the area of Cottage and Willis streets and drove them to Bentley Street in New Bedford\u2019s near North End, four houses away from Dawson\u2019s home, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n<p>Dawson asked the cab driver if he had change for a $50 bill and then Dunton placed him in a chokehold, while Dawson held a knife to his side, prosecutors said. The cab driver freed himself and fired three rounds into the cab, killing Dunton, investigators said. Dawson ran out the passenger side and door and was arrested later that day by police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe victim was violently robbed by two men who threatened his life while choking him and putting a knife to his side,\u201d Quinn said in the statement. \u201cFortunately, he was able to extricate himself and get out of the cab.<\/p>\n<p>But you\u2019ll be pleased to know that the robbery suspect faces heftier charges.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.southcoasttoday.com\/news\/20181008\/surviving-new-bedford-robbery-suspect-faces-heftier-charge\">http:\/\/www.southcoasttoday.com\/news\/20181008\/surviving-new-bedford-robbery-suspect-faces-heftier-charge<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kyle S. Dawson, 23, of 28 Bentley St., Apartment 1, the surviving suspect in the Aug. 10 robbery in New Bedford, will be arraigned Oct. 31 in Fall River Superior Court, according to Gregg Miliote, a spokesman for Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III.<\/p>\n<p>A Bristol County Grand Jury indicted Dawson on charges of armed assault with intent to rob, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and involuntary manslaughter, Miliote said.<\/p>\n<p>The charge of involuntary manslaughter, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in state prison, is a new charge brought against Dawson by the grand jurors. Dawson is currently being held without bail at the Bristol County House of Correction, after a dangerousness hearing in New Bedford District Court.<\/p>\n<p>As if Pittsburgh needed this now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburgh.cbslocal.com\/2018\/11\/01\/police-medical-examiner-mount-oliver-home\/\">https:\/\/pittsburgh.cbslocal.com\/2018\/11\/01\/police-medical-examiner-mount-oliver-home\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MOUNT OLIVER (KDKA) \u2013 Allegheny County Homicide Unit Detectives said a suspect is dead after an attempted home invasion in Mount Oliver.<\/p>\n<p>Lt.
