Alleged shooter faces August trial date
The man accused of shooting Island businessperson Sue Normand is facing a trial in early August.
Documents filed at the Manatee County Courthouse last week indicate that Mark Koenigs could stand trial as early as Aug. 4.
Koenigs has been held at the Manatee County jail since early December 2007, after his arrest on charges in connection with the shooting of Normand at her store, Island Mail & More, in Holmes Beach.
Koenigs faces four first-degree felony charges and one third-degree felony charge. Authorities say he walked into Island Mail & More with a gun in a shipping box, removed the weapon and shot Normand once in the hip. He was apprehended on the beach, after being shot three times by Manatee County Sheriff’s Office deputies.
A docket sounding to review the status of the case is scheduled for July 28. |
