Marquay McCoy, the parolee charged in killing MSU student Dominique Nolff, appeared in court Wednesday for his preliminary hearing. Judge Andrea Larkin concluded there was enough evidence for McCoy to stand trial.
The fatal shooting occurred Jan. 31 at an apartment complex at 220 Cedar Street. McCoy, a Grand Rapids resident, was on parole at the time.
McCoy is charged with open murder and also faces several other charges, including armed robbery and larceny.
During a court hearing held March 20, East Lansing police Detective Dan Brown testified Grand Rapids resident Marquay McCoy entered Nolff's residence on Jan. 31, had a brief conversation with Nolff and his roommate and then pulled out a silver handgun to steal medical marijuana and a laptop, shooting Nolff twice.
According to court records, McCoy's trial will be conducted in Ingham County Circuit Court, but no court dates have been set.
