After the case was charged, the Detroit Police Department continued to investigate the case. As a result of the investigation, DeAngelo Davis has been eliminated as a suspect in the case. Today Prosecutor Kym Worthy, along with Detroit Police Chief James Craig and Wayne State University Police Chief Anthony Holt, announced that the charges of First Degree Murder, Felony Firearm, Murder of a Police Officer, Felony Firearm and Felon in Possession of a Firearm will be dismissed today. The charges were dismissed this morning by 36th District Court Judge Nance-Adams.

Mr. Davis will have all charges dismissed against him. The Homicide Task Force, comprised of the Detroit Police Department and the Michigan State Police, continues to aggressively commit their time and resources to investigate the death of Sgt. Rose.
