CHESAPEAKE, Va. (AP) -- Prosecutors say the murder trial of a man accused of killing a Mormon missionary and wounding another has been delayed until October 9.

James Boughton Junior had been scheduled to stand trial March 26th in Chesapeake Circuit Court on charges that he fatally shot Morgan Young of Utah and wounded Joshua Heidbrink of Colorado in January 2006.

Boughton recently acquired a new attorney after his former attorney asked to be removed from the case.

Boughton is charged with first-degree murder, malicious wounding, attempted malicious wounding and three firearms charges. He's being held in the Chesapeake City Jail.

Heidbrink said in court last year that he and Young were going door-to-door evangelizing when they heard a shot and saw a man running toward them.

The man shot him, then he saw Young on his knees looking up at the shooter, heard a pop, then saw Young fall forward.

Heidbrink did not identify the shooter at that hearing.
