A Douglas County judge has ordered a Lawrence teenager to stand trial on first-degree murder charges for shooting 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 shooting Neal on June 13 outside Neal's apartment at 2406 Alabama St.

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