A mistrial was declared in the manslaughter trial of an undercover New York police officer who allegedly shot an unarmed man in a warehouse hallway.
The jury was unable to reach a verdict, Justice Daniel P. FitzGerald said. A spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney’s office said the case would be retried.
Officer Brian Conroy, 25, was on trial in the death of Ousmane Zongo, an art restorer who worked in the building where the shooting occurred. Zongo, 43, was shot four times in the back, neck and arm.
