Shaver was allegedly in possession of an air rifle while he was staying at a La Quinta Inns & Suites hotel.
Brailsford's trial for second degree was originally scheduled for February 2017.
A defense motion challenging the state's probable cause to send the case to trial, and appeals to the Arizona Supreme Court over the release of controversially redacted footage from Brailsford's body camera, made a February trial unrealistic.
On February 10, 2017, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge George Foster rescheduled the trial for October 23, 2017.
Brailsford faced up to 25 years in prison if found guilty of second degree murder.
On December 7, 2017, after a 6-week trial, a jury acquitted Brailsford of all charges.
