In Jan. 2017, Lumpkin pled guilty to one felony charge. He was initially being charged in relation to the actual shooting death, which was considered accidental and in self-defense.
Lumpkin claimed he felt he was the victim of a home invasion and thought he was shooting in self-defense, sources told ABC7 News in April 2016.
