(Michigan City, IN) - Charges have been dismissed in a recent Michigan City shooting death.

 

Cevin Crawford, 27, of Michigan City is no longer charged with murder.

 

Initially, Crawford was charged because it appeared he fired the weapon based on eyewitness testimony and video footage, according to prosecutors.

 

Prosecutors said additional video footage obtained later from a different angle revealed the trigger was pulled by another person, who was standing near Crawford at the time.

 

The La Porte County Prosecutor’s Office filed the motion which was granted last week by Judge Jamie Oss at the courthouse in Michigan City.

 

25 year old Dante Sellers of La Porte was shot outside Matey’s restaurant near the lakefront just over three weeks ago after an exchange of heated words inside the establishment.  Sellers passed away at a Chicago area hospital later in the day.

 

So far, authorities have not revealed if the person firing the weapon has been taken into custody because of the ongoing investigation.
