Second trial in loud music killing set for Monday

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jury selection is set for Monday in the second trial of man accused of first-degree murder in the death of a teenager during a 2012 dispute over loud music.

Jordan Davis, 17, died after Michael Dunn, 47, fired into the SUV in which Davis was a passenger.

Dunn was previously convicted of three counts of attempted second-degree murder and firing into an occupied vehicle, but jurors deadlocked on the charge of first-degree murder.

Davis’ attorney is seeking to move the trial away from Jacksonville citing widespread publicity about the case. Circuit Judge Russell Healey has said he will decide whether to move the trial during jury selection.
