NY AG office declares no charges against Trooper Caito for shooting Daniel Legler in Gates, citing justified use of force under state law.

The New York Attorney General's Office has decided not to pursue criminal charges against Trooper Dominick Caito, who fatally shot Daniel Legler during an August 2023 incident in Gates. Following a police chase for expired plates, Legler crashed his car, exited, and allegedly fired a weapon. An investigation found that Caito’s use of deadly force was justified under state law, as it could not be disproven beyond a reasonable doubt.
