Broward Circuit Court Judge John Murphy declared a mistrial after the 12-member panel could not reach a verdict after three days of deliberation. According to NBC News, to convict or acquit a defendant requires a unanimous verdict. Prosecutors will likely retry the case with a new jury.

“We are still unable to reach a unanimous decision,” the jury wrote to Broward Circuit Court Judge John Murphy, the Miami Herald reported.

Authorities arrested Demons in 2019 on first-degree murder charges for allegedly shooting two of his childhood friends, Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr. They were aspiring rappers with the YNW collective known as YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy.

The three men were being driven in a Jeep by Cortland Henry, known as YNW Bortlen, after a recording session in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Oct. 26, 2018. Prosecutors allege Demons shot Williams and Thomas. NBC News reported that Henry is being charged as an accomplice and will be tried separately.

Demons and Henry allegedly drove the bodies to an area near the Everglades before shooting at the back and passenger seats outside to make it look like a drive-by shooting. Prosecutors added that ballistics tests show the shots were fired inside the car.

Police say Henry drove to the emergency room at Memorial Hospital Miramar asking for help, saying Williams and Thomas had been shot in a drive-by shooting, according to People. They were both pronounced dead after suffering multiple gunshot wounds.

Broward County prosecutors sought the death penalty over the double murder charge held against Demons. They argued the shooting was part of gang action, while the defense said this claim lacked credibility because Demons and the victims were close friends.

The defense argued Demons had no motive for the crime, and the gun from the shooting was never recovered. Demons pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The case is among the first to be considered since Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis lowered the threshold for a death sentence to an 8-4 jury vote, from a unanimous vote, according to the Miami Herald.

Demons is known for the 2018 track “Murder on My Mind” and the 2019 song “Mixed Personalities,” on which he collaborated with Kanye “Ye” West before his arrest.
