A 19-year-old man who was questioned in connection with the murder of a teenager found dead in East Cleveland earlier this month is no longer a person of interest. 

Police say Jesean Woods is no longer believed to be connected to the death of 17-year-old Breanna Nicole Fluitt.

Fluitt was found dead near abandoned buildings in East Cleveland on Aug. 20. 

Woods was taken into custody on a warrant for aggravated murder last week. 

On Tuesday, police told newsnet5.com that Woods is no longer a person of interest in the case.
