YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - One of the suspects involved in a Yuma house party shooting in May of 2023 will have his trial delayed one year from now.

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.

Back in June, Colin's attorney requested that his trial be moved from outside Yuma County, but it was denied by Judge Claudia Gonzalez.

His trial was set to begin Tuesday and was originally scheduled to last four weeks.

It will now begin a year from now, August 4, 2026, and will last six weeks.
