A preliminary hearing is set for one of the men charged in the double fatal shooting at Virginia Carolina Homes last May.

J’Raad Amajh Simpson, 25, will have a preliminary hearing March 10 at 10:30 a.m. He had a bond hearing Monday in Pittsylvania County General District Court. He was denied bond, according to a press release.
