Story highlights A mistrial was declared on November 12 after jurors could not come to a decisionRay Tensing shot and killed Sam DuBose during a traffic stop in July 2015(CNN) Ray Tensing, a former University of Cincinnati officer who shot and killed a black man during a traffic stop in 2015, will be retried on murder and voluntary manslaughter charges, prosecutors in Ohio announced Tuesday. A mistrial was declared November 12, after jurors spent more than 25 hours deliberating but could not come to a decision. Tensing, who is white, shot Sam DuBose in the head in July 2015 after pulling him over for a missing front license plate and asking for his license, an incident that was largely captured on body camera video. "After careful consideration, I have decided that the Tensing case will be retried," Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said in a statement Tuesday. "This decision was made after review of the trial transcript, discussion with some of the jurors, and consultation with my staff," Deters said.
