A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a preliminary hearing for the co-defendants in a murder case. The hearing will determine if the case should continue to trial.

Shaquille Bynum and Sean Howard, both 18, are charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 20-year-old Ibrahim Sesay on Jan. 7 on the 1300 block of 9th St. NW. 

Judge Milton Lee scheduled a preliminary hearing for May 12. 

In the meantime, Bynum and Howard will remain held at DC Jail, where they have been since March.
