A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for a Trigg County man who is accused in the fatal shooting of a Muhlenburg County man.
During an arraignment in Trigg District Court Tuesday morning, District Judge Jamus Redd read the charges against 31-year old Montie Streeval, of Cadiz, which are murder and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
Streeval told Judge Redd he did not have an attorney at this time and the judge appointed a public defender to the case.

Streeval is accused of killing 25-year old Cameron Phillips, of Powderly.

Police add the autopsy revealed Phillips died from a single gunshot wound to the head.
He is lodged in the Christian County Jail and being held on a $1,000,000 bond.
