Hanson was accused of shooting Gabriel as they were driving on Louise Avenue near the Empire Mall on January 29th of last year.
Prosecutors claimed Hanson fired four shots at Gabriel’s car out of jealousy.
Gabriel’s girlfriend Olivia Brust and her five month old baby were in his car. Brust told police that Hanson is the baby’s father.
Hanson was charged with murder, second-degree murder and manslaughter.
