(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a 25-year-old rural Troy man charged in the August shooting death of another man has been postponed for a third time.

The hearing for Eric Burge, which had been set for Thursday in a Doniphan County courtroom, was rescheduled for March 4th.

Burge is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Matthew Sollars. In addition, he faces a felony charge of criminal discharge of a firearm in an occupied dwelling and misdemeanor charge of hosting minors in consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Sollars, a native of Leavenworth, died August 13th, one day after the shooting at a rural residence southwest of Troy.

Burge was arrested in October following an investigation by the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Department and Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

He remains in the Doniphan County Jail on $500,000 bond.
