A former Santa Fe County sheriff's deputy accused of killing a fellow deputy will be retried in April.
KOAT-TV reports that Tai Chan's original retrial was set for Nov. 28 but now it is slated to run April 3-14.
Chan's first trial ended in a mistrial in June.
He had been charged with first-degree murder in fellow deputy Jeremy Martin's death.
The two 29-year-old deputies were in Las Cruces the night of the shooting in October 2014, staying at a hotel after transporting prisoners to Arizona.
Martin died of his injuries at a hospital. Chan's attorneys say the shooting was in self-defense.
