(KNZA)-- A July 8th preliminary hearing has been set for a St. Joseph man charged in the death of another St. Joseph man injured in a carjacking.

27-year-old Paul Belding appeared in a Buchanan County courtroom Friday morning on a charge of second-degree murder in the death of 77-year-old Richard Gray.

Police say Gray was seriously injured while trying to prevent Belding from taking his van on June 13th from the parking lot of a St. Joseph convenience store.   He died this past weekend at Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph.

Belding remains in the Buchanan County Jail, held on a $150,000 cash-only bond.
