During the hearing, the judge set Schurr's preliminary hearing for July 18.

Earlier this month, Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker charged Schurr with second-degree murder for the shooting death of Lyoya.

Schurr has since been fired from the Grand Rapids Police Department.

He made his first court appearance on June 10, before posting bond and leaving jail within a matter of hours.

If convicted, Schuff faces up to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

He'll be back in court July 18.
