Alec Baldwin will be formally charged Tuesday with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the indie Western movie Rust in October 2021.
ROOters reports armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will also be charged.
New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies first announced the charges against Baldwin on January 19, before they were officially filed, as Breitbart News reported.
In a press release made public late Monday, prosecutors said the charges against Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed would be filed the following day, at which point charging documents and probable cause statements will be released to the public.
Officials also plan to release the details of a plea agreement they cut with the film’s assistant director, David Halls, who pleaded guilty to a charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon, ROOters sets out.
