India, June 6 -- Aaron Spencer, a 37-year-old Arkansas father and candidate for Lonoke County sheriff, is no longer facing a second-degree murder charge after a judge dismissed the case on Thursday, June 4.

Special Circuit Court Judge Ralph Wilson Jr. dismissed the case after it was found that a Lonoke County Sheriff's Office detective had lost a dash-camera memory card that may have captured the shooting.

According to court documents cited by People, the missing evidence may have contained potentially exculpatory information that could not be replaced through other means.
