(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a 25-year-old rural Troy man charged in the August shooting death of another 25-year-old man has been postponed.
A Doniphan County judge recently granted a request for a continuance by the attorney for Eric Burge and rescheduled the preliminary hearing for January 16th. It had been set for December 5th.
Burge is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Matthew Sollars. In addition, he faces charges of unlawful discharge of a firearm in an occupied dwelling and hosting a party that included minors.
Sollars, a native of Leavenworth, died August 13th, one day after the shooting at a rural residence southwest of Troy.
Burge was arrested in October following an investigation by the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Department and Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
He remains in the Doniphan County Jail on $500,000 bond.
