A review hearing has been set in a vehicular murder case stemming from a crash near Emporia over a year ago.
Adonis Dailey was set for a review hearing Wednesday but failed to appear, according to the Kansas District Court Public Access Portal. The rescheduled review will be July 10, ahead of Dailey’s preliminary hearing July 23.
Dailey is accused of first-degree murder in the traffic death of Kejuan Cortez Shugart as part of an alleged high speed chase involving Kansas Highway Patrol troopers on the Kansas Turnpike in late April 2023. Dailey is also charged with single counts of flee and elude and speeding. Dailey was allegedly driving at speeds at or above 125 mph before crashing into the back of a semi trailer near the Emporia tollgate.
