Darcus Allen is accused of being the getaway driver for Maurice Clemmons who shot and killed four Lakewood police officers in 2009.
It has been nearly 13 years since what was one of the worst police shootings in our region's history. The jury deliberating murder charges against the getaway driver for the shooter who killed four Lakewood Police officers announced they were deadlocked, ending in a mistrial for a second time.
A Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision paved the way for Allen to be retried for four counts of first-degree murder for his role in the shooting.
The jury selection in the retrial of Darcus Allen will begin on Thursday.
The trial against Darcus Allen is set to begin Sept. 22.
