After roughly 10 hours of deliberation Thursday, the jury could not come to a decision, according to the Journal Gazette. The judge will reconvene with the prosecution and defense attorneys next week to set a new trial date.

Kiel was shot to death near the 3400 block of McKinnie Avenue. Police found him sitting in the driver’s seat of a car with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
