Shelton faces two charges of first-degree murder in the United States.

The hearing will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Circuit Court of Florida’s 17th Judicial Court for Broward County.

It is reported that Michael Santiago, special operations commander/public information officer of the Lauderhill Police Department said the department’s investigation into the case is still active and will not be disclosing information on the matter.

Shelton is accused of killing Dwayne ‘Muscle Man’ Francis and Jeff ‘FordLawd’ Ford, according to an arrest document filed in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Court for Broward County, Florida.

He was arrested and charged on October 25 after forensic and video evidence placed him at the site of a double homicide.

The police reported that two males with gunshot wounds were found in the parking lot area. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses reportedly told investigators that other people involved in the shooting fled the scene.

A black sedan matching the reported description of the vehicle from the crime scene from which the shots were fired arrived at the HCA Florida Woodmont hospital and dropped off a man wearing the same outfit from the crime scene.

According to reports, the man was admitted in serious condition and officers sought to identify him using local database fingerprints but were unsuccessful.

The Border Patrol fingerprint scanner later identified the man as Jahreme Shelton who entered the country illegally.
