The murder trial for Sopheatheara Kim, 24, who allegedly killed a man in Pacific by firing several gunshots into the Pacific Community Center in November of 2008, has been re-scheduled from May 10 to May 24.

Kim, 24, is charged with one count of first degree murder for allegedly killing 21-year-old Shiloh Bleau Drott. He remains in jail on $1 million bail.

Drott was shot through a window of the center’s east room where he was passing the evening with a youth group reading Bibles, playing games and eating pizza on Nov. 14, 2008.

Investigators said at the time that Kim or one of his friends got into an argument with someone other than Drott at nearby Giu’s Market, and that that person was disrespectful.

Court papers said that an enraged Kim followed two men to the center, walked up to the window and sprayed it with at least eight rounds from a 9mm handgun. One shot struck Shiloh as he tried to push others down and out of the line of fire.
