The unidentified man, who legally owns a firearm, was defending himself on Feb. 10 when he shot 36-year-old Vincent Bynum, of Allentown, the outlet says citing Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin.

Before being shot, Bynum allegedly assaulted two residents outside of a West Allen Street home while under the influence of alcohol and hallucinogenic drugs, according to the outlet. 

An autopsy ruled Bynum's death a homicide, the Lehigh County Coroner's Office previously said.
