EARLIER:
The man Chattanooga police say was involved in a murder earlier this year after being released on bond will now have to appear before a grand jury.
Marvin Menifee stood before a Hamilton County judge Wednesday.
Prosecutors say he was involved in a drive-by shooting on Dodson Avenue back in April.
That attack left one person dead.
Menifee was charged in a separate murder case before the shooting happened.
But he was later released after a judge agreed to reduce his bond by 90%.
Just two weeks later, Menifee was arrested and charged in the murder of Deountay Brown.
A transcript from the court claimed the Hamilton County assistant DA over the case did not hand over evidence to the judge for the case.
The DA has rejected those claims.
We were there for Menifee's preliminary hearing Wednesday.
This case also involves two other suspects Renyetta Lowe and Henry Davis.
They, along with Menifee, are accused of killing Brown.
Two witnesses took to the stand at Wednesday's hearing.
"Soon as I heard bullets, and bullets started going I told everyone to get down," said Reshonda Mason.
Scary moments for Reshonda Mason, a witness, as she testified Wednesday.
"I guess when they shot through my daughters room he caught the bullet, because they shot low," said Mason.
Menifee is charged with first degree murder for killing Brown.
Wednesday Menifee’s attorney tried to reduce his charge to an assault or reckless endangerment charge.
The attorney claimed that Menifee was not the one who fired the weapon.
But the state believes they have enough evidence.
"We have testimony that Mr. Menifee was the person shooting that gun," said the state attorney.
The judge denied the request from Menifee's attorney.
"The court agrees with the state's position, and the state court finds that there's probable cause and the cases are bound over to the grand jury," the judge said.
