The Shawnee County jury will resume deliberations Monday in the first-degree murder trial of 27-year-old Anceo Stovall of Topeka.

Stovall is one of nine people charged in the shootings.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the jury on Thursday asked the judge if it would be considered a hung jury if the juryt made a decision on one charge but not the others. The judge told jurors to treat each count individually.
Jurors have been deliberating the case since Wednesday afternoon.
