CHICAGO (AP) – Murder charges have been dropped against a man who was accused of fatally shooting four people at a Chicago restaurant in 2017. Prosecutors cited unreliable eyewitness accounts in their request for the dismissal of the charges against 22-year-old Maurice Harris. Harris had been charged in April 2017 with more than two dozen counts in the March 2017 quadruple killing. A spokeswoman for the state’s attorney’s office says that prosecutors sought to drop the charges “in the interest of justice.” Charges were dropped at a Wednesday hearing. One of Harris’ attorneys says he and other attorneys uncovered a growing amount of evidence to show that Harris could not have been the shooter.
