A  murder case is set for a preliminary hearing, which will determine if it has enough evidence to go to trial. 

Kyrie Wells, 18, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 25-year-old Anthony Lee on Sept. 26 on the 2900 block of Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue, SE. Wells was arrested on Nov. 18. His co-defendant, 29 year-old Niko Hall, was arrested on Oct. 19. He is also charged with first-degree murder while armed.

The Dec. 1 status hearing ended shortly after defense attorney Dorsey Jones told Judge Judith Smith that a preliminary hearing for the two has already been scheduled for Dec. 10 .
