Jury selection is expected to begin today for the re-trial of two men accused of gunning down 28-year-old Cedirick Steele across the street from a Boston middle school in 2007.

ANTWAN CARTER (D.O.B. 10/13/88) and DANIEL PINCKNEY, Jr. (D.O.B. 7/4/88), both of Boston’s South End, are both charged with first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm for their alleged roles in Steele’s fatal shooting on March 14, 2007. Steele was shot and killed in broad daylight as he stood across the street from Roxbury’s James P. Timilty Middle School waiting for his mother.

Superior Court Judge Linda Giles declared a mistrial in the duo’s first trial on Sept. 22 after jurors sent her multiple notes indicating that they were hopelessly deadlocked in their deliberations.

Assistant District Attorney Paul Treseler will re-try the case. Kara Hayes is the assigned victim-witness advocate. Carter and Pinckney are represented by attorneys Barry Wilson and James Greenberg, respectively.
