A man who spent 22 years in prison for murder before being found not guilty and released, was found not guilty in a separate shooting case on Friday.

Demarco Carpenter was released from prison in 2016, then arrested in 2019 accused of shooting a man he knew, Sheldon Reed. Reed survived the shooting.
