A deadlocked Bronx jury in the murder trial of actor Lillo will continue deliberations Monday.

On Friday, jurors asked the judge for a read back of two counts.

They told the judge on Thursday that they were deadlocked 11 to 1 in the allegations surrounding the shooting death of off-duty officer Daniel Enchautegui.

The case avoided a mistrial earlier Thursday, after one juror was thrown off the panel for taking notes and doing research on the Internet.

Brancato signed off on an alternate juror to replace the dismissed juror. The judge needed his consent since the jury had already started deliberating.

Brancato is charged with felony murder, burglary and attempted burglary.

Enchautegui was shot during an alleged 2005 burglary attempt at his next door neighbor's home.

"The Bronx Tale" actor says he and his friend, Steven Armento, were just trying to wake up a friend to get drugs. Brancato's lawyer says he did not realize Armento had a gun.

Armento was convicted of first-degree murder in October.
