Steven Schaaf, a Nevada Department of prison inmate, was killed outside a doctor's office by senior guard Charles Looman after the convict managed to get out of his leg shackles and run.
Once he gets the case from the sheriff's office, District Attorney Noel Waters said he'll review it and decide whether the slaying was justifiable homicide.
Other options would be to file criminal charges or ask for a coroner's inquest.
The Nevada Department of Investigation is conducting a parallel investigation to see whether prison policies were followed. The criminal investigation has to be completed before NDI can finish its report.
