The cases were built Monday in the Pickaway County Courtroom, and alleged partner Shepard will testify later.
The first day in the murder trial of Brent Cox, who is accused of Aggravated Murder and Aggravated Robbery, has been completed.
32-year-old Brent Cox from Pickaway County was slated to go on trial Monday, April 16th in Pickaway County Common Pleas Court for the October 12th fatal shooting of 43-year-old Rodney Metcalf, but was continued until June 4th.
Cox is accused of being the gunman in the shooting, which also recently saw 46-year-old Donald Shepard plead guilty to his role on related charges of involuntary manslaughter and aggravated robbery.
Shepard was sentenced to 16-years in prison for his participation in the attempt to steal cash and drugs from Metcalf.
