The FBI has closed its investigation into a fatal police shooting that happened 50 years ago in west Alabama.

A Justice Department letter to the family of Frank Andrews says the government won’t file any charges in his slaying by a Choctaw County sheriff’s deputy in the town of Lisman on Nov. 28, 1964.

The letter is dated 2013, and the government released it to The Associated Press last month in response to a records request.

Andrews was black, and the deputy who shot him was white. The deputy claimed the shooting was an accident.

The letter says an investigation didn’t turn up any evidence that could result in criminal charges.

Andrews was shot to death outside a small cafe while two officers were investigating a report of illegal liquor.
