Preliminary trial set for man accused in June shooting

A man accused of shooting a man who later died of his wounds had his preliminary hearing set.

Brandon Brown is accused of first-degree murder in connection with the June death of Donelle Lindsey. According to Iowa City police, Brown asked Lindsey to walk with him and after a short distance, the two got in an argument. Brown then allegedly shot Lindsey with a handgun several times at close range. He was transported to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics but was pronounced dead from the bullet wounds.

Brown then left Iowa City before being arrested in Cook County, Ill.  Brown then waived extradition, meaning he was brought to Johnson County jail without legal proceeding.

Brown’s preliminary hearing is set for at 2 p.m. Sept. 10.
