2 shooting suspects released after police review alibi video

MIAMI – Authorities say they’re dropping charges against two Florida men arrested in connection with a fatal shooting that prompted hundreds of students to walk out of their high school to protest gun violence.

A Miami police news release said Monday that investigators had reviewed a video that supports an alibi for 19-year-old Anthony Clinch, so police are dropping charges against him and 22-year-old Yaairnes Rashad Bryant. Also, an active warrant for a third suspect has been cancelled.

Clinch and Bryant were charged Saturday in the April 8 slayings of 17-year-old Kimson Green and 18-year-old Rickey Dixon.

Green was a Northwestern Senior High School sophomore who was about to become a member of the National Honor Society. Dixon was a former Northwestern student. Two other Northwestern classmates also were injured in the shooting at a Liberty City apartment complex.
