A Judge in Pottawattamie County has issued a continuance in the trial of an Oakland man charged with first-degree murder. Judge James Richardson ruled Wednesday the trial for 63-year old Robert A. Reynolds will be held October 14th instead of Sept. 30th. Reynolds’ attorney has until Sept. 26th to file pre-trial papers. It’s the fifth time the trial date has been changed since the original date of July 1st. Reynolds has plead not guilty to the murder charge.

Authorities say during the early morning hours of April 9th, 2014, Reynolds allegedly shot to death in his Oakland home, 64-year old Patricia Kinkade-Dorsey, a resident of rural Cass County.

During an interview with law enforcement, Reynolds allegedly admitted he and Kinkade-Dorsey had a verbal dispute inside his residence, and that he then left the area to locate a firearm which he allegedly used to fatally shoot Kinkade-Dorsey.

Three other people in the home at the time the incident occurred were not injured
