A murder defendant did not show at his hearing on April 24.

Michael Anthony Grant, 34, is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly assaulting 33-year-old Lucas Alonzo Thomas on the 3100 block of Randle Place, SE on July 28.

Grant was released to a halfway house in November of 2019. He has been missing from the halfway house since April 17.

He failed to appear to his pretrial show cause hearing and Judge Juliet McKenna issued a bench warrant for his arrest.

A felony status conference is scheduled for July 10.
