Gloria Gomez reports

A former Ruskin neighborhood ice cream man accused in a deadly shooting spree will head back to trial in October. A mistrial was declared in his case back in February 2020 because the jury was hopelessly deadlocked. 

Now, prosecutors are ready to go at it again. Michael Keetley is accused of a horrific shooting spree the left two brothers dead and four others injured in a case of mistaken identity. 

Prosecutors said on Thanksgiving Day in 2010, Keetley was out for revenge after he had been robbed and shot during his ice cream route, but they said he targeted the wrong men.
