A defendants second motion for release because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tywone Sommers is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon gun for shooting into a car stopped at a stoplight after the passenger had an argument with Sommers and a woman inside a store on March 12.

Judge Juliet McKenna continued the hearing after the defense said they needed more time to decide whether or not to accept a plea deal or continue to a preliminary hearing.

A status hearing is scheduled for June 11.
