All charges against both men were dismissed Monday morning after the district attorney's office said both video and forensic evidence exonerate the suspects.

The young men from Jackson, Alabama, were reportedly not involved in the shooting, and ballistics recovered at the scene did not match a firearm possessed by one of the men.

Five felony charges against both men were dropped.

Their names and mugshots have been removed from this report in light of the developments on Monday.
