HOUSTON // The first court appearance of one of the two teenagers charged with the murder of an Emirati military officer who was shot dead during a robbery in the United States was postponed yesterday.
Detone Lewayne Price, 18, was scheduled to appear at the Harris County 178th Criminal District Court to face a charge of capital murder but did not appear in court.
Mr Price's lawyer Wayne T Hill asked that his court appearance be put back to November 15.
Police arrested Mr Price three days after the shooting on August 7 of Salem Saif Al Mazroui, a UAE military officer from Ras Al Khaimah.
Capt Al Mazroui was killed at his apartment in the San Marin complex in the Medical Center area of Houston, while visiting his father, Saif Al Mazroui, who was undergoing cancer treatment at the MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Mr Price has been charged with capital murder and is eligible for the death penalty.
Corey Trevon Perry, 17, has also been charged with capital murder, but cannot be executed if he is convicted because he was under 18 at the time of the shooting. He is due in court on October 13.

Tuan Phan of SimplyFI.org lists five signs you have been mis-sold to:
1. Your pension fund has been placed inside an offshore insurance wrapper with a hefty upfront commission.
2. The money has been transferred into a structured note. These products have high upfront, recurring commission and should never be in a pension account.
3. You have also been sold investment funds with an upfront initial charge of around 5 per cent. ETFs, for example, have no upfront charges.
4. The adviser charges a 1 per cent charge for managing your assets. They are being paid for doing nothing. They have already claimed massive amounts in hidden upfront commission.
5. Total annual management cost for your pension account is 2 per cent or more, including platform, underlying fund and advice charges.
