Anthony Trifiletti faces a second-degree murder charge in the death of Douglas Cornelius Lewis, 39. A judge declared a mistrial after a jury could not come to a verdict earlier this month.
Trifiletti is still in custody with bail conditions unchanged, according to a news release from the Ramsey County Attorney's Office.
Lewis died on May 1 after a fender bender crash between the two in St. Paul. Trifiletti said he was acting in self-defense. Lewis' family previously told the Star Tribune they believed Trifiletti, who is white, perceived Lewis, who is Black, to be a threat because of his race.
Police did not find weapons on Lewis at the scene.

Correction: Previous versions of the story misstated who said he was acting in self-defense. It was Anthony Trifiletti. Also, Trifiletti's last name was misspelled in some references.
The governor said it may be 2027 or 2028 by the time the market catches up to demand.
