UPDATE: ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- After 18 hours of deliberation, Jesse Herrera's jury could not reach a unanimous decision, forcing judge John Truitt to declare a mistrial. You may recall Herrera is accused of killing Kerry Davis back in 2009. Prosecutors will likely try again.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Rockford Police have released the name of suspect in the murder of a 34 year old Rockford man. Police have identified 21 year old Jesse J. Herrera as a suspect in the shooting of Kerry Davis.
