Special prosecutors have said they are seeking to recharge actor Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter over the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of a Western film in New Mexico two years ago.

New Mexico-based prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis said they will present evidence to a grand jury within the next two months, saying that “additional facts” have come to light over the October 2021 fatal shooting on the set of Rust during filming on the outskirts of Santa Fe.
