OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 22-year-old man has been acquitted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of an Omaha teen.

Jurors deliberated about eight hours before finding Dennis Brewer Jr. not guilty Wednesday in the fatal shooting of 18-year old Tielor (TYE’-lur) Williams, who died in April 2014 as Brewer robbed someone else.

Brewer was not accused of being the shooter, but prosecutors charged him under a Nebraska law that holds accomplices accountable if someone dies while a felony is committed. Another man, Adrian Lester, is accused of firing the shots.

Brewer’s attorney says Brewer and Lester were acting separately that night, and Brewer therefore wasn’t an accomplice in Williams’ slaying.

Brown says he understands that the Williams family wants justice, that that he didn’t commit the crime.
