A U.S. District Court judge has declared a mistrial in a federal case surrounding the fatal Tempe police shooting of 19-year-old Dalvin Hollins in 2016 after the jury remained deadlocked on all but two claims on Wednesday.

An attorney representing Sarah Coleman, Hollins’ mother, filed a civil suit in 2017 alleging wrongful death, excessive force and other violations in her son’s death.

The mistrial only applies to the claims for which the jury could not reach a decision.

Tempe police responded to reports of a robbery with a suspect who was possibly armed at a Walgreens near McClintock and Guadalupe roads on July 27, 2016. Officers saw Hollins, who fit the description of the suspect, walking nearby and attempted to contact him.
