Today, some back-tracking. Cano-Rivera has been freed pending "further investigation" -- although a warrant out for a second man, Heber Santiago Godoy, remains in effect. This is the second time in five days that the DPD has had to let go an arrestee in a high-profile murder case. On Monday, charges were dropped against Dawn Marie Gonzales, who'd been taken into custody regarding a fatal hit-and-run near a Burger King at 6th and Broadway.
