Officer Collin Rose, 29, was shot and killed in November, and DeAngelo Davis, 31, was arrested the same night and charged with the murder, the New York Daily News reports.

Davis had been in jail since the shooting until charges were dropped Wednesday. There was no report as to why charges were dropped.
