The men were arrested following the drive-by shooting death of a 6-year-old girl last February while she was watching television inside her home in rural mission.

The suspects appeared in front of 370th state District Judge Noe Gonzalez who set a preliminary trial date for October and scheduled the next pre-trial hearing for August.

Judge Gonzalez noted this was the first live proceeding in his courtroom since the pandemic started.
