FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The judge presiding over the Northern Arizona University killing case said the accused shooter’s retrial will move forward as scheduled.

Steven Jones, 20, who has claimed self-defense, was charged with one count of first-degree murder and six counts of aggravated assault for allegations that he shot four other students in 2015, fatally wounding one.

A Coconino County Superior Court jury was unable to agree on a verdict in May 2017, which led to a mistrial.

Jones had pleaded not guilty to killing Colin Brough after a fight near an off-campus apartment.

Both sides were scheduled for oral argument on Sept. 8 on a motion filed by the defense. Jones’ attorneys want the Coconino County Attorney’s Office disqualified from prosecuting the defendant.

The retrial has been scheduled to begin Oct. 10.
