EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - The second trial for a man charged with murder is now underway.

According to court documents, a mistrial was declared for 34-year-old Brandon Artis back in February because of inappropriate contact with a juror.

Artis is accused of killing Trey McGillicudy back in August of 2022.

That happened in a home on Ravenswood Drive.

Police say a witness told them McGillicudy sold marijuana to Artis.

Officers say Artis then shot him and stole thousands of dollars in cash.

On Wednesday, the lead detective, the person who called 911 and a witness to the shooting were questioned.

The state says they have no more witnesses. It is unclear whether the defense will call any witnesses on Thursday.
