    richard-lee-smith-171x214The man accused of shooting and killing a 21-year-old K-State Student made a court appearance on Tuesday.

    Richard Smith made his way into the courtroom for a status hearing pertaining to charges of criminal possession of a firearm and drug possession.

    Smith was previously convicted of crimes in Pottawatomie County, carrying a five year ban on firearm possession.

    It was learned that the case will move forward with a preliminary hearing on April 12th.

    Smith is accused of the self-defense killing of Tyler Nelson in December 2015.

    Nelson had mistakenly tried to enter Smith’s home, believing it to be his own.

    The man shot Nelson as a result, but will not face manslaughter charges in the case.
