A San Luis Obispo woman arrested last year for the death of her husband is no longer facing a charge of second-degree murder.
At a preliminary hearing held on Thursday, a judge ruled that there is not sufficient evidence to charge Skylar Marshall with murder but that there is sufficient evidence to charge her with involuntary manslaughter.

Skylar Marshall, 24, previously pleaded not guilty to a murder charge. She will now face a charge of involuntary manslaughter instead.
On July 16, 2020, Marshall shot her 35-year-old husband, Alexander Hagist, inside their unit at the Peachwood Apartments in the 600 block of Chorro Street. Hagist suffered a single gunshot wound to the head and later succumbed to his injuries.
