PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Multnomah County grand jury found no criminal wrongdoing in the Nov. 23 Portland police shooting that ended in the death of Craig Boehler in a fire.

The district attorney’s office says the investigation found Boehler was shot three times by an officer and once by his stepfather during a domestic disturbance, but the gunshots were not fatal. The 46-year-old died of smoke inhalation.

The Oregonian reports investigators are trying to determine whether Boehler set the fire or if it was started by a tear gas canister or some other cause.
