OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man undergoing his second trial for murder in the 2016 shooting death of an Omaha teenager has been found not guilty.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that a Douglas County jury on Tuesday found 25-year-old Otis Walker not guilty of first-degree murder and gun charges in the Nov. 26, 2016, drive-by shooting death of 16-year-old Markeise Dunn.
Prosecutors had argued that it was Walker who pulled the trigger when a car pulled up beside Dunn, who was walking his girlfriend to a bus stop, and opened fire.
Walker's first trial ended in a mistrial in 2019 when jurors couldn't reach a verdict.
