A grand jury declined to indict Solet in 2019, citing insufficient evidence for Kemple Paul Scott Lovell’s murder.
Attorney Jason Dagate said more information is needed to proceed.
Solet was acquitted of the December 2019 attempted-second-degree murder charge in November 2021.
Sheriff’s Lt. Blake Tabor said investigators are using every tool and do not expect Solet to flee.
