TL;DR Summary

A 33-year-old woman arrested in connection with a double shooting at a holiday celebration in St. Louis was released after prosecutors refused to file charges against her due to a "lack of evidence." The shooting occurred during a fight at an annual Cinco de Mayo festival, and investigators are still searching for a second suspect. The decision not to file charges has drawn criticism, but prosecutors may issue charges if new evidence is found. St. Louis has seen a spate of shootings recently, with at least 11 people shot and five killed over a 72-hour period.
