Prosecutors say a FedEx driver won’t face charges after he fatally punched a Portland, Oregon man who shouted racial slurs and tried to hit the driver.
Joseph Magnuson died following the encounter with Timothy Warren, who was driving his truck through a Portland, Ore., neighborhood when Magnuson screamed that he was going too fast.

Warren stopped his truck and tried explaining to Magnuson that night in late September that he was exhausted and just wanted to get done with his work. Magnuson, 55, responded aggressively and hurled insults and racist slurs toward him.
Warren, who is Black, was not having it. He stepped out of the truck and both men exchanged heated words. Magnuson took a swing and missed and Warren swung back, punching Magnuson above his left eye. He briefly lost consciousness, then died later that evening.
