MIAMI (WSVN) - Prosecutors announced they will retry a former University of Miami football player who was charged with killing his star teammate in 2006.
Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Cristina Miranda decided Wednesday to hold the retrial for Rashuan Jones beginning May 18.
The decision came days after the judge declared a mistrial in the case after a jury became deadlocked.
Jones is charged with second-degree murder. Prosecutors say he fatally shot Bryan Pata outside his Southwest Miami-Dade apartment in November 2006.
If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.
