Opening statements are set for 9 a.m. Tuesday in the murder trial of Kamaronte Jones.
Jones was 17 at the time he was accused of killing Keith “Fritter” Peters, 18, on Aug. 26, 2007, during a party in the 1600 block of East Fortuna. Police said Peters was shot to death when he tried to break up a fight.
The Fritter Foundation was established in Peters’ honor help steer young people to an alternative to street gangs.
Assistant Sedgwick County District Attorney C.J. Rieg is prosecuting. Public defender Mark Orr represents Jones, now 18. Ben Burgess is the judge.
A jury was seated today.
