A murder suspect was back in police custody Monday after officials bungled his charges last week and accidentally set him free from jail, the Baltimore City State?s Attorney?s Office said.

Assault charges against 19-year-old Zukael Stephens should have been dropped in favor of a murder count at a court hearing after the victim in the case, Marcus Rogers, died of his injuries, a state?s attorney?s spokeswoman said.
