Because none of them drove the car which hit her. They dropped her off at an apartment complex, presumably near where she lived, and she was struck by an uber driver while wandering around.
Now, consider the following: if they had not abducted and raped her, would she still be dead? Probably not. Ergo, but for their act, she would still be alive. It's murder.
Ok but murder has specific requirements in the statute. I know in Clown World we now just prosecute people over feels and the latest two-minute hates, but that's the technical reason. The DA did not think he could prove that those legal requirements were met.

Presumably?
Say you're dead drunk and I 'drop you off' at a highway after raping you.
Seems like I'm a tiny bit culpable for your death, innit?
The article says "they later dropped Brooks off at a nearby subdivision". That's not the same as "abandoned on a highway."
Yes, I gave an example. Or nearby a highway.

Uh, where's the proof she was raped, big guy?
A completely sloshed person is unable to consent in that jurisdiction
Did you read the article? One of the guys confessed it.
C'mon man you know the police clearly coerced him into "confessing"
I'm just fucking with you, it's cuz he's black, right? Of course he raped her haha ;)
