Elijah Cooper was riding his bicycle through the crosswalk against oncoming traffic with the green light when he was struck and killed.

"Because the driver wasn't drunk" is not the reason no charges will be filed. You made that up. He was not following rules and likely at fault. This case could be highly unlikely to win in court. The article said "There was no evidence that the driver of the vehicle involved was impaired" which is simply a factual statemet.
