(KNZA)--A 26-year-old rural Troy man charged in the shooting death of his 25-year-old roommate last August is to be arraigned October 29th.

Eric Burge has been bound over to Doniphan County District Court on charges contained in an amended complaint of second-degree murder, or in the alternative involuntary manslaughter, along with felony criminal discharge of a firearm in an occupied dwelling, aggravated battery and a misdemeanor count of hosting minors in consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Burge is charged in the shooting death of Matthew Sollars. Sollars died August 13th, one day after the shooting at a residence where the two men resided southwest of Troy.
