Another pretrial hearing set in Trigg Co. murder case

Another pretrial hearing was set in the murder case against Montie Streeval in Trigg Circuit Court Wednesday, who is charged in the shooting death of 25-year old Cameron Phillips.

Public defender Cody Hooks informed the court he needs more time to go over both evidence and a possible resolution with Streeval, so he requested another pretrial hearing be set.

Judge C.A. Woody Woodall set a pretrial hearing for April 13. Phillips’ body was found August 6 in a wood line near Old Rocky Point Road. Kentucky State Police Detective David Dick testified during a preliminary hearing recently and says investigation determined Phillips died from a single gunshot wound to the head.  Streeval allegedly admitted to driving Phillips to Trigg County for a drug deal.

Detective Dick says Streeval has neither admitted nor denied killing Phillips. Streeval is charged with murder and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
