Police have removed handcuffs shackling Jacob Blake to his hospital bed and stopped monitoring him, his lawyer has said.
Mr Blake, an African-American, was shot seven times in the back over the weekend by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin and has no movement from the waist down.
Word from his father that Mr Blake was tied to his hospital bed in Wisconsin had caused a further uproar amid a groundswell of national anger over yet another shooting of a black man by police.
Mr Blake's attorney Patrick Cafferty said he was restrained in his hospital bed and officers were watching over him because of an outstanding warrant stemming from a domestic violence-related incident in July.
Mr Cafferty said he had arranged on Friday morning with a district attorney to have that warrant cancelled.
"As of five minutes ago, the cuffs have been removed from Mr Blake and the deputies have left his room," Mr Cafferty said on Friday at midday, according to the Wisconsin State Journal newspaper.
Mr Blake's father, Jacob Blake Sr, earlier expressed outrage after seeing his son restrained during a visit to the hospital on Wednesday.

"Why do they have that cold steel on my son's ankle?" Mr Blake Sr said in an interview on CNN.
"He can't get up, he couldn't get up if he wanted to."
"This is an insult to injury," said the younger Blake's uncle, Justin Blake. "He is paralysed and can't walk and they have him cuffed to the bed. Why?"
Earlier, Wisconsin governor Tony Evers said he was baffled as to why Mr Blake was tied to his bed.
"I would have no personal understanding why that would be necessary," Mr Evers told reporters on Thursday.
