Brown was previously on trial for second-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and assault on a peace officer but that trial ended in a hung jury in March. Brown’s attorney said after that trial that prosecutors still had not recovered the suspected weapon and claimed Brown was not the shooter in the case. Brown’s second trial is scheduled for August 19.
His father, William Brown, is also facing charges under Bennie’s Law in the case. He is scheduled to go to trial next month.
