Posted: 9:53 pm EDT August 4, 2007Updated: 10:13 am EDT August 6, 2007

A coroner's inquest will be held with regard to a deadly shooting in Somerset County.

According to the Somerset Daily American, the inquest will take place Wednesday and Thursday in connection with the death of Perry Zimmerman.

The goal of the inquest is to see if Zimmerman's death was justifiable homicide.

Officials said Matthew Eperjesi shot and killed Zimmerman after Eperjesi warned Zimmerman and others not to come into his apartment or else he would shoot.

Charges against Eperjesi were previously withdrawn due to self-defense.
