A Douglas County judge has ordered a Lawrence teen to stand trial for first-degree murder in the shooting death of a 17-year-old boy outside his home earlier this year.

The defendant, Cir Allen Keith Glover, 19, appeared in court Wednesday for the second part of his preliminary hearing on the original charge of second-degree murder in the death of Isaiah Neal. Glover is accused of gunning down Neal on June 13 outside of Neal’s apartment at 2406 Alabama St.

Judge Stacey Donovan found probable cause for the more serious charge of first-degree, premeditated murder, after Deputy District Attorney David Greenwald’s closing argument Wednesday, in which he told the court that the evidence showed that Isaiah was shot in the back seven times with his own gun.
