LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A judge has declared a mistrial for a man accused of fatally shooting another man at a Lincoln party last year.

A hung jury of five men and seven women deliberated for more than two days before telling a judge Wednesday they could not agree on a verdict in the case of Michael Arellano.

The 22-year-old Arellano faced charges of second-degree murder, felony assault and two weapons counts. He is accused of fatally shooting 38-year-old Shane Newman in June 2013.

Arellano said during his trial that he shot Newman to defend a friend who was allegedly being injured by Newman.

Deputy County Attorney Pat Condon said prosecutors plan to retry the case in September.
