If this was a black man who shot a white man to death do you think he would have been released?
The man who shot Joe McKnight has been released from custody and no charges have been filed yet … this according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Dept.
We spoke with a rep who tells us 54-year-old Ronald Gasser — a white male — was questioned and released “sometime overnight” after officials believed they had no reason to hold him any longer.
The Sheriff’s Dept. tells us … Gasser “definitely” shot the ex-NFL running back — but there are “questions about the circumstances surrounding what led up to it.”
Joe McKnight didn’t have a weapon, witnesses says he was apologizing to Gasser and Gasser stood over him when he shot him to death.
Witnesses heard Gasser say “I told you not to f*ck with me” before killing McKnight.
