The Hennepin County Attorney's Office released the following statement regarding the investigation into an April 22 fatal shooting in Edina:
"Since Wednesday’s devastating shooting that took the life of John Stroud, we have been working closely with Edina Police on reviewing the evidence in this case. The suspected shooter is in custody and will be prioritized for immediate review when the case is submitted.
Both our office and Edina Police are in agreement that there is not evidence at this time to support charges against the three individuals who were originally arrested. This is a complex matter and the investigation will continue. Those three individuals will be released from custody today.
We appreciate the excellent investigative work, collaboration and communication with Edina Police throughout this process as we work together to keep our community safe."
