A judge has declared a mistrial in an Omaha murder trial.

Attorneys for 26-year-old William Bush objected Tuesday during opening statements about information presented by the prosecution. Prosecutor Brenda Beadle says there was miscommunication about what information was going to be presented at trial.

The judge set a new trial date for May.

Bush faces charges of first-degree murder, use of a gun to commit a felony and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Prosecutors say he shot 30-year-old Kyle McCroy, of Omaha, in March 2012.
