美国俄亥俄州检方已撤销对20岁男子Eljay Crisp-Carr的指控，此前该男子因涉嫌在6月6日托莱多Old West End节日发生的大规模枪击事件中被捕 1。这起造成12人受伤的案件曾导致Crisp-Carr面临超过50项重罪指控，其中包括25项谋杀未遂，并被羁押约5个月 1。Lucas County Court of Common Pleas法官Lori Olender批准了驳回请求 1。检方声明指出，承认发现了支持辩护的新证据，且驳回是无偏见的（without prejudice），意味着必要时可重新起诉 1。
辩护律师Alex Bodiford指出，视频和手机通话记录等证据证实案发时Crisp-Carr并不在现场 1。目前调查仍在进行中，真正的嫌疑人仍在逃，Bodiford对此表示担忧：“现在我们仍然担心外面还有人真正实施了枪击……那个人可能还在外面继续开枪” 1。
获释后，被告Crisp-Carr回应称：“上帝是仁慈的。”并补充道：“他们告诉我是怪物”、“他们只是诬陷了我” 1。他的母亲April Carr在得知消息后表示：“我感到无比兴奋，因为哪个母亲希望自己的孩子因为没做过的事情被全世界报道？” 1。据Gun Violence Archive统计，截至周五，今年美国境内已发生超过385起大规模枪击案，此类事件定义为4名或以上受害者受伤或死亡 1。
Prosecutors in Ohio have dropped charges against 20-year-old Eljay Crisp-Carr, who was arrested in connection with a mass shooting at the Old West End festival in Toledo that wounded 12 people on June 6 1. The dismissal was granted by Judge Lori Olender of the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas after defense attorneys presented video and phone records establishing an alibi for the time of the incident 1. Crisp-Carr had faced more than 50 felony counts, including 25 attempts to commit murder, during approximately five months of detention 1.
The prosecution acknowledged that new evidence supporting the defense emerged, leading to the decision to dismiss the case without prejudice, which allows for potential re-indictment if necessary 1. Crisp-Carr’s mother, April Carr, expressed profound relief, stating, "I'm beyond excited because what mother wants their child to be broadcast across the world for something they didn't do?" 1. Meanwhile, the defendant himself reacted simply with, "God is good," while reflecting on how authorities had previously branded him a monster, saying, "They told me I was a monster" and "They just incriminated me" 1.
Despite the legal victory for Crisp-Carr, concerns remain regarding public safety as the actual perpetrator is believed to still be at large. Defense attorney Alex Bodiford warned, "Now we're still concerned that there is still somebody out here who actually did do the shooting... that guy might be still out here still shooting" 1. Investigations into the June 6 shooting continue even as national statistics show the U.S. has recorded over 385 mass shootings this year, defined as incidents where four or more victims are injured or killed 1.
