19-year-old Nazier Howard trial is scheduled for November 29th. Howard was indicted for the death of Ke'Vonta Cowan in 2019, when Howard was 17 years old. A motion hearing was held on Monday, to remove a request to get Howard's school work while he was at the Allen County Juvenile Detention Center for handwriting analysis. Prosecutors were able to get a writing sample from another source and didn't need the schoolwork anymore.

Howard was indicted in the fall of 2021 and again in January of this year for the death of Kevonta Cowan. But because of an Ohio Supreme Court ruling in another case, the Allen County prosecutors had to start the process over again to make sure all of the steps were taken before his case heads to trial.
