HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County District Judge Trish Rose denied the defense’s request for a venue change in a 2015 murder case.

Brennan Trass is scheduled for trial on March 25 for shooting and killing 24-year-old Jose Morales, whose body was found on the floor of a residence on Aug. 17, 2015.

There is still a suppression motion scheduled before trial. Judge Rose set a hearing for that motion on Feb. 21.

Trass remains jailed on a $250,000 bond.
