A Lima man accused of shooting another man outside a Lima bar this past summer was in court for a final pretrial hearing today.
Twenty four year old Demonta Rogers is charged with murder with a gun specification and discharging a firearm on prohibited premises.
He allegedly shot and killed Remeal Ingram outside of the G-Spot bar on July 5th.
This week, state’s prosecutor Tony Miller requested a continuance of the trial, which was scheduled for December 12th.
Miller revealed in court that he has been undergoing testing for a potentially serious medical issue and the results of those tests haven’t been made available yet and he was uncertain whether he could continue to represent the state if the trial went on as scheduled.
Common Pleas Court Judge David Cheney moved the trial to January 9th despite the objections from Roger’s defense attorney.
