ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Keith Moses<\/a>, the man charged with killing three people in Pine Hills \u2014 including a 9-year-old girl \u2014 appeared in court Tuesday as his legal team works to push back his trial date to 2027.<\/p>\n

Moses is facing the death penalty for a February 2023 shooting spree that claimed three lives. Authorities say he shot and killed 38-year-old Nathacha Augustin<\/a>. Later that same day, the then-19-year-old allegedly went on a rampage, killing 9-year-old T\u2019yonna Major<\/a> and Spectrum News 13 reporter Dylan Lyons<\/a>, who was covering Augustin\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Moses has pleaded not guilty to the charges.<\/p>\n

The case was originally set for trial this month, but was delayed after Moses\u2019 attorneys asked for more time to prepare. His defense team is pursuing an intellectual disability claim, a legal argument they believe could remove the death penalty as a possible sentence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re making good progress. Mr. Moses recently has been tested for his IQ, and so we believe well before December we\u2019ll be able to file a motion in that regard,\u201d Ted Marrao, Moses\u2019 attorney, told the judge.<\/p>\n

Moses waived his right to appear in court Tuesday. The state and defense agreed to schedule the trial for August or September of 2027.<\/p>\n

A court date to confirm the official trial date is expected before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
