BRIGHTON, Colo. (CBS4) — The man accused of killing a 13-year-old boy and wounding three people, including the boy's mother and younger brother, was scheduled to be in court on Tuesday morning for a preliminary hearing, but it was postponed until May 25. The court entered a not guilty plea for Jeremy Webster in January 2019, after his defense attorneys asked for another continuance.
