State attorney drops charges against two accused of helping hide Markeith Loyd

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Charges against the remaining two people accused of helping Markeith Loyd while he was on the run were dropped late Monday by the Orange-Osceola County State Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors filed "no information" notices in felony cases against Jameis Slaughter and Zarghee Mayan. They were accused of giving Loyd money and rides while he was on the run after the shooting deaths of Sade Dixon, her unborn child and Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton.

Slaughter and Mayan join Lakensha Smith-Loyd, who previously had aiding and abetting charges dropped. Slaughter still faces a misdemeanor charge for pretending to be her twin sister when police arrested her in January.
