HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The sentencing for a man found guilty of first-degree murder and criminal possession of a firearm in Reno County District Court has been delayed.

Brennan Trass was scheduled to be sentenced Friday after being found guilty for the two charges associated with the shooting and killing of 24-year-old Jose Morales in August of 2015. Trass shot and killed Morales in a Hutchinson residence in what the state says was an illegal drug transaction.

Trass pulled the gun from the waistband of the victim and fired three shots at Morales. He then fired 10 more shots down a hall at others attempting to flee the home.

Reno County District Judge Trish Rose agreed to have Trass sent to Larned State Hospital as part of the presentence investigation. She says no new date has been set for sentencing.

Trass could receive a life sentence with no chance of parole for 51 years.
