Preliminary Hearing Set in Murder Case of Yuma Man
IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA) -A judge has set February 25 as the date for the preliminary hearing in the murder case of 23-year-old Jacob Sims.
Six people are charged in connection with Sims’ death, according to the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office.
Sims was reported missing from Yuma before his remains were found in a bonfire in Winterhaven last November.
Speaking after the court hearing, Sims’ grandmother said, “I know that the trial date will be a little out there, but at least I’ll have some peace.” She added, “It just keeps getting pushed further and further out, and it really takes a toll on our family.”
The case remains under investigation.
