The witness gave police details that prosecutors have said in court documents could have cleared former DSU student Loyer Braden of East Orange, N.J., of fatally shooting 17-year-old Shalita Middleton of Washington, D.C.
However, charges against 20-year-old Braden were dismissed earlier this week after the witness could not be found and a judge ruled that prosecutors withheld evidence that could compromise Braden's right to a fair trial.
