Amilcar was dropped in 2021 after an alibi notice was presented to prosecutors and probed, a spokesperson for the Brooklyn District Attorney\u2019s Office said. <\/p>\n<p>Martial C. Amilcar filed a federal lawsuit against the city and NYPD personnel last February over his 2019 arrest. <\/p>\n<p>According to Martial C. Amilcar\u2019s lawsuit, on Feb. 22, 2019, he was stabbed in the leg around 3:30 p.m. and limped home. The lawsuit states that Joseph was shot and killed a couple hours later, but that Martial C. Amilcar was home during that time. <\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-slideshow\" data-component=\"inlineSlideshow\">\n<div class=\"inline-slideshow__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inline-slideshow__slides\">\n<div class=\"inline-slideshow__slide inline-slideshow__slide--no-swipe\">\n<figure class=\"inline-slideshow__slide-figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"878\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-638-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=878\" class=\"inline-slideshow__image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-638-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1756 1756w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-638-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1317 1317w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-638-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=878 878w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-638-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=439 439w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-638-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px\"\/><figcaption class=\"meta meta--caption\">\n                                        Two crime scene officers are at the scene Of  where 15-year-old Samuel Joseph Was Shot.                                 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-slideshow__slide inline-slideshow__slide--no-swipe\">\n<figure class=\"inline-slideshow__slide-figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"878\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-637.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=878\" class=\"inline-slideshow__image\" alt=\"The shooting occurred right in front of the victim's sister inside the apartment of 1395 Flatbush Ave.\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-637.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1756 1756w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-637.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1317 1317w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-637.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=878 878w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-637.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=439 439w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/alleged-gang-member-charged-637.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px\"\/><figcaption class=\"meta meta--caption\">\n                                        The shooting occurred right in front of the victim\u2019s sister inside the apartment of 1395 Flatbush Ave.                                  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>                        <span class=\"screen-reader-text\"><br \/>\n                            Advertisement                       <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>After Martial C.
