The trial of Marvin Esquivel Lopez, charged with killing a mother and her two children in his Des Moines home almost two years ago, ended in mistrial Thursday after the jury was unable to reach a verdict on two of the three charges.
Esquivel Lopez, 31, went on trial last week for three charges of first-degree murder for the slaying of Rossibeth Rosie Flores-Rodriguez, 29, and her two children, Grecia Daniela Alvarado-Flores, 11; and Ever Jose Mejia-Flores, 5. The jury began deliberations Friday afternoon, and by Wednesday told the judge they had reached a verdict as to the killing of Flores-Rodriguez, but remained very far apart on the other two charges.

MINNEAPOLIS In the past year, faith leaders have been doing a lot of heavy lifting, lifting both prayers and spirits. All I m here to do is continue to pray for our communities, pray for those who have their family members that are still living through this daily, Stacey Smith said. Smith is the Presiding Elder and Judicatory Head of African Methodist Episcopal Church. Keep them lifted up. That s what we have to do.
She said she came with a tight feeling in her heart, as she was listening to the announcement of the verdict on her way to Shiloh Temple in Minneapolis.
