After being charged with second-degree murder while armed, Kevin Smith pled not guilty during an arraignment on June 8.
Smith, who was 47 at the time of the homicide, is charged with allegedly shooting Valerie Coleman, the grandmother of his child. Apparently, Smith killed the 55-year-old in retaliation to finding out that his girlfriend, who was Coleman’s daughter, was cheating on him.
On June 8, Smith changed counsel. Smith’s new attorney requested time to review evidence in the case.
The arraignment is scheduled to continue on July 18.
