YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A request for a change of venue has been denied for the trial of one of the suspects involved in a Yuma house party shooting.

21-year-old Abraham Colin is facing two counts of first-degree murder and five counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the deaths of 19-year-old Danny Garcia and 20-year-old Ande Blackthunder.

Colin's attorney requested that his trial be moved from outside Yuma County, which was denied by Judge Claudia Gonzalez.

His trial is set to begin August 5 and is expected to last four weeks.
