The preliminary hearing for a man charged with murder and related offenses in the October killing of a transgender woman in Logan was delayed until March 2.
Pedro Redding, 24, was denied bail and is being held at Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility until further court action.
He was arrested in connection with the Oct. 6 fatal shooting of Keisha Jenkins at 13th and Wingohocking streets. Jenkins, 22, was assaulted by several men around 2:30 a.m. and shot twice in the back.
Police said the motive was robbery and Jenkins was not targeted for being transgender. Police do not believe Redding, of the 4500 block of North 13th Street, was the shooter. No further arrests have been made.
