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.
Why are they not charged with murder?

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.
