A case involving a Marshall teenager who was arrested and charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of a Sedalia woman a little over a year ago is set for jury trial this week.
According to a release from Pettis County Sheriff Kevin Bond, on January 12, 2018, deputies made an arrest in connection with the shooting death of 21-year-old Cassandra L. White at the Western View Estates Trailer Park on Oak Grove Lane in Sedalia on January 9. An investigation led to the arrest of 18-year-old Noah A. Kelliker.
Online court documents say Kelliker, who is now 19, is facing charges of a Class A Felony for Murder in the Second Degree; Class B and E Felonies for Unlawful Use of a Weapon; and an Unclassified Felony for Armed Criminal Action.
Kelliker waived his formal arraignment and entered a plea of not guilty during a hearing on February 5, 2018.
During a pre-trial conference on Monday, January 7, all parties announced they have no pre-trial motions.
A three-day jury trial for Kelliker is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, January 23, at Pettis County Circuit Court.
