(Washington Post) — More than 100 friends and family members of Ali Ahmed Mohammed gathered Monday outside the U.S. attorney’s office and then city hall in the District to protest prosecutors’ decision to drop charges against five men who had been accused of beating Mohammed outside DC9, a popular nightclub. Mohammed, 27, of Silver Spring, died at a hospital shortly after the alleged beating Oct. 15. But the District’s medical examiner’s office did not find injuries consistent with a brutal beating, authorities say. The men, initially charged with murder, had been scheduled to appear in court Monday for a preliminary hearing on aggravated assault charges, but the charges were dropped Friday.
