Attempted murder charges against Tiquwan Dickerson were dropped Thursday because the victim refused to cooperate.
Falmouth police arrested Dickerson, 23, in February for his alleged involvement in a February shooting at 19 Lakewood Drive, according to the Cape Cod Times. Police alleged Dickerson and David Landry, 24, of Mashpee shot the victim in the leg, abdomen and arm during an argument over $200 thousand of heroin. Dickerson still faces charges for carrying a firearm without a license; that charge comes from a traffic stop in October 2011. Charges against Landry were dismissed in May.

The service will be held tonight, Saturday December 15th at 5 p.m. in response to the events in Sandy Hook and Newtown, CT. Reverend Deborah Warner said she wanted to hold the service to give residents a chance to grieve as a community. “What struck me was the need to come together as a community in solidarity with those that have lost children and friends in acts of gun violence,” Warner said. Warner also has a personal connection to the tragedy, she knows the Episcopal minister in Newtown and says she has a heavy heart for that minister and first responders who are dealing with one of the nation’s worst school shootings in history.
