Judge won't change hearing for lone suspect in fatal shooting on New Orleans' Bourbon Street
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A magistrate judge has refused to move up a preliminary hearing for the only suspect in a deadly shooting on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
Magistrate Harry Cantrelle's decision came despite arguments Friday by an attorney for 20-year-old Trung Le that Le didn't fire the first shot or the shot that killed a 21-year-old woman. Nine other people were injured in the June 29 shooting.
Cantrell says Le's hearing date remains Aug. 26.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Prosecutors must demonstrate at the preliminary hearing that they have probable cause to keep Le in jail.
Le was captured in Mississippi on July 4 and extradited to Louisiana.
He was booked with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.
