Police have released the suspect in the deadly Cinco de Mayo Parade shooting in Detroit, and friends of the victim are threatening retaliation.

The release comes after the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said there isn’t enough evidence to charge the 24-year-old suspect, who had a license to carry the concealed pistol he used in the shooting.

Prosecutors urged police to conduct a more extensive investigation.

Police said the incident started when the victim, 19-year-old Andreas DeJesus, was involved with a fight with members of the suspect’s family at the parade. The suspect pulled out his gun and shot DeJesus once in the chest, killing him in the middle of a large crowd.

At issue is whether the suspect pulled the trigger in defense of his family or himself.

Police said DeJesus was affiliated with the Latin Counts street gang but started his own movement – ASAP – that was supposed to promote positivity.
