Two men accused of being involved in a shooting in southeast Emporia this past summer had preliminary hearings in Lyon County District Court on Wednesday. Only one will continue the court process after those hearings.
Keno Hopkins had been charged with aggravated robbery, aggravated battery and burglary after an alleged incident at Emporia’s Eastgate Apartment complex in July. However, the case against Hopkins was dismissed — for lack of probable cause, according to court documents.
The case continues against Shedrick Williams, however. He’s still facing single counts of aggravated robbery, aggravated battery and burglary. He is now set for a pretrial hearing at 2 pm Jan. 5 before Judge Lee Fowler.
Williams and Hopkins were charged after one person was allegedly shot July 22. The alleged victim was treated at Newman Regional Health and released shortly afterward.
