Lawyers for the two accused in this year’s fatal stabbing of a transgender woman in Frankford will review evidence against their clients until the next court date in October.
They had perused some evidence previously and received further documents at a pre-trial conference Aug. 3 with Judge Lillian Ransom.
Jose Pena, 19, remains in custody at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility after having been denied bail. Tiffany Floyd, 25, is held at Riverside Correctional Facility. She was also denied bail.
The two were arrested in March and charged with murder and related offences in relation to the February killing of Maya Young, 25.
Statements from Pena and Floyd read at their preliminary hearings in June said Floyd thought Young had tried to steal her boyfriend, and that Floyd had enlisted Pena to help kill Young.
According to authorities, police responded to a call near 4900 Griscom St. around 11:50 p.m. Feb. 20. They found Young suffering from several stab wounds to the neck and chest. She was pronounced dead early the next morning at Aria Health Frankford.
