HIALEAH, Fla. — A home-invasion robbery by four intruders that ended with a suspect shot and killed led to charges against the homeowner. But not for the death.

Police say Michael Mora is in trouble for what was found inside: a marijuana growhouse with about 202 pounds of weed.

The 37-year-old Mora faces no charges for the shooting death of South Miami-Dade resident, 25-year-old Lhosdanny Brena Colarte.

For now, Mora's charged only with growing marijuana and trafficking marijuana.

Mora has served two Florida prison terms, one for robbery with a deadly weapon, meaning as a convicted felon convicted felon in possession of a handgun he could face further charges in Saturday's deadly shooting.
