ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – A judge is delaying a pre-trial detention hearing for a teenager accused in a deadly shooting of a classmate near Oak Ridge High School.
In a hearing on Wednesday, Judge Cherish Adams granted a request for more time to prepare arguments against the state’s motion to keep Jacori Redding, 15, in jail.
Redding is being tried as an adult on a charge of manslaughter in the shooting death of 16-year-old Pinien Dalmacy.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said Redding shot the victim on a basketball court at Vogt-Mellon Park hours after the two were involved in a confrontation at nearby Oak Ridge High School.
Sheriff John Mina said the two students got into a disagreement over a bump in the hallway.
According to deputies, Redding ran back to Oak Ridge High after the shooting and was found in the cafeteria with a gun in his backpack.

In the motion for pre-trial detention, prosecutors said Redding has a record of 39 discipline incidents with Orange County Public Schools, which included 17 for physical altercations.

Redding is scheduled for an in-jail arraignment on Monday.
The hearing for pre-trial detention was rescheduled for Nov. 12 at 9 a.m.
