Jacksonville, FL — The Jacksonville man accused of shooting and killing another man during a fight at the Town Center will stand trial on Jan. 29, 2018.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrested Toray Ricketts, 24, in March after he pulled out a gun and shot Sina Sharifai, 24, after a fight at the Suite Nightclub at the Town Center.
Ricketts' attorneys filed to use Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law for their defense, but a judge threw out the motion.
A judge said he's denying Ricketts' motion for a stand your ground defense, saying "a written order is coming, details a bunch of reasons why." @ActionNewsJax pic.twitter.com/rELNLDt3aP

In the early-morning hours of March 24, Ricketts got into an argument with Sharifai, who witnesses say was trying to be a peacemaker in another disagreement.
Investigators say Ricketts pulled a gun from his waistline and fired two shots. Sharifai tried to run but was shot and killed.
