Just moments after a press conference given by District Attorney Tim Barker ended, Matarese made herself available to the media, which was livestreamed in full and can be viewed below:

Despite the difficult update, Matarese told the public she does not in any way blame the officers for their actions and that everyone, including Duarte, did what they had to do in the line of duty during an unimaginable scenario.
"It's hard to hear because it's your child —it's my child," Matarese began.
Matarese previously told CBS 21 days after the shooting that she harbored no hatred towards the shooter and when asked Wednesday if her feelings changed, she reiterated that she would continue choosing the path of forgiveness.
Later on when speaking to media, Matarese recited an affirmation Duarte had written in a notebook of his and held it up , which read:

When asked how Matarese and Duarte's father feels about the investigation concluding, she said she is relieved now that she can further continue supporting any memorials for her son.

Matarese also confirmed that neither she nor the rest of Duarte's family would pursue any legal action for his death.
