The Greenwich Time reports that a Stamford Superior Court jury found 49-year-old Carlos Trujillo of Bridgeport not guilty Thursday of murder in the April 2006 killing of Andrew Kissel.
The panel could not reach a verdict on an attempted murder charge, and a mistrial was declared on that count.
Prosecutors alleged Trujillo hired his cousin to kill Kissel for money.
The cousin, 24-year-old Leonard Trujillo of Worcester, Mass., awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to murder conspiracy and manslaughter.
