LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The trial of a man charged with killing a Lincoln police investigator will be moved out of Lancaster County.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lancaster County District Court Judge Andrew Jacobsen ordered Monday that 18-year-old Felipe Vazquez will be tried in Platte County. Vazquez is charged with first-degree murder and several other counts in the death of Lincoln police investigator Luis “Mario” Herrera, who was shot in August 2020. 

Vazquez's attorney argued in a motion that he could not receive a fair trial in Lancaster County because of extensive publicity surrounding Herrera's death and burial. 

Judge Jacobsen agreed and ordered the trial moved to Columbus in northeast Nebraska.
