Preliminary Hearing Scheduled in Drive-By Case

HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. - A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for three men charged in the Christmas Day shooting death of a 16-year-old Memphis, Tenn., girl has been canceled.

An earlier hearing had been postponed. The preliminary hearing is now set for Feb. 17 at 1 p.m. in Marshall County Justice Court.

Twenty-two-year-old Rico Fleming, 31-year-old Corey Albright, both of Rossville, Tenn., and a 16-year-old juvenile are each charged with one count of murder and multiple counts of drive-by shooting.

All three are being held without bond.
