The trial in the murder case of Deontae Harris may have to be pushed back.
The defense team is struggling to serve a witness they would like to have testify during the trial of Sherman Whitener, Jr., who is charged in the July 2021 deadly shooting.
Surveillance footage showed Whitener extend his arm toward a black Ford SUV and then flee from the scene after the incident.
The Goshen News reports that Harris’ fiance told police that the suspect and victim, as well as another suspect who allegedly took Harris’ keys, cell phone and a gun, knew each other and that there was a “situation” between Whitener and Harris before the shooting.
