I went looking to see if I could find any indication the SO had passed the case along to the DA for a charging decision- apparently not yet. But there was a bit more information in another news story.

Morning rampage ends with man shot, killed

During an overnight rampage, a 20-year-old man fired shots at his girlfriend's place, ripped the lights off a tow truck, broke windows at two apartments, scared a man out of his own home and stripped off his clothes.
But he ended up dead on his back in the parking lot, buck naked, with a bullet in his chest at 5 a.m. Tuesday, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
Jonas Morisma, 20, who goes by the nickname "Black," was shot by one of the residents in the Lake Arjaro Drive apartment complex - off 45th Street near Haverhill Road in suburban West Palm Beach - after the resident said Morisma threatened him as well as two women.
The sheriff's office did not name or arrest the shooter and will turn the case over to the state attorney's office to determine whether to file charges.
Morisma's rampage began shortly after 4 a.m. at the Canterbury Drive home he shared with his girlfriend. He became agitated and fired shots at the sliding glass doors from inside the apartment, then went outside and fired more shots into the air, the sheriff's office said.
He dropped the gun, told his girlfriend to do whatever she felt was necessary and drove his GMC sport utility vehicle a few blocks away to Lake Arjaro Drive. He parked on the lawn in front of a building. Friends at the scene said he often went there to hang out.
On Tuesday morning, he banged on the window of a tow truck and tore off the lights. The driver fled and called 911. Morisma hit a car with the lights and broke the windows of two first-floor apartments where women were sleeping inside, the sheriff's office said.
He went into a man's apartment on the second floor, and the man ran out in fear for his life. Meanwhile, Morisma stripped off his black shoes and jean shorts and boxers.
A neighbor heard the commotion, went outside and told Morisma to go away. When Morisma made a threatening move toward him, the man fired, the sheriff's office said.
Morisma's girlfriend had spent the morning trying to call him, but he didn't answer his phone. Finally, her friends told her he had been shot and took her to the scene at 9 a.m.
She told deputies he may have been using drugs. An autopsy will be done to determine whether he was under the influence at the time of his death, the sheriff's office said.
He had four prior arrests, including two for drug possession.
