Carvel Clayton charged with second-degree murder in death of Shakur Jefferies
It will be more than a year before the man charged with second-degree murder in the death of Shakur Jefferies near a Halifax apartment building will go to trial.
On Thursday, a Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge scheduled the trial of Carvel Clayton for January 2019.
Jefferies was discovered in front of an apartment building on Washmill Lake Drive in Fairview last November. He had been shot.
Clayton is free on $100,000 bail and did not appear in court Thursday. His lawyer spoke on his behalf.
