SALINA, Kan. (AP) — A man accused of in the shooting death of a Salina teenager will stand trial on a charge of aggravated intimidation of a witness in the murder case.

Andrew M. Woodring will be tried in May on the intimidation charge. His trial for first-degree murder and other charges is scheduled for April.

Woodring and four others are accused of shooting 17-year-old Allie Saum to death in May. Saum was a passenger in a truck that police say some of the defendants mistakenly believed belonged to someone from an earlier confrontation.

The Salina Journal reports prosecutors believe Woodring tried to convince an ex-girlfriend to “do something about” a female he thought was going to testify in the murder case. The ex-girlfriend testified Wednesday that she never contacted the woman.
