A DC Superior Court judge rescheduled a hearing to determine if a murder case has enough evidence to go to trial.

Stephon Williams is charged with second-degree murder while armed in the death of his father, Stephen Magruder. Magruder was 49 years-old when he was fatally shot on Sept. 11 on the 700 block of 51st Street, NE. 

The preliminary hearing was set to take place on Oct. 28. However, due to a family emergency for defense attorney Jason Tulley, Judge Michael O’Keefe rescheduled it for Nov. 20.
