The jury's deadlock resulted in a mistrial for Sheldon 'Timothy' Herrington Jr., charged with capital murder. Jurors could not reach a unanimous decision after ten hours of deliberation.
Despite the mistrial, the Oxford Police Department reaffirmed their commitment to finding justice for Jimmie 'Jay' Lee, stating their pursuit of justice will not waver.
The case remains high-profile due to the circumstances surrounding Lee's death, including his secret relationship with Herrington, who was a member of a conservative church.
Court documents indicated that Snapchat messages showed Herrington allegedly luring Lee to his death with false promises, portraying the complexity and tragedy of the situation.
