A status conference is scheduled Tuesday in Riley County District Court for a Manhattan man charged with killing another man.
It will be the first hearing for 29-year-old Richard Goens in nearly a month following his alleged involvement in the Nov. 1 shooting death of 24-year-old Tanner Zamecnik. Goens has not yet entered a plea, but remains jailed on a $1 million bond, charged with first-degree murder and attempted aggravated robbery.
A criminal complaint filed with the court in early November alleges Goens fired a fatal shot in an attempt to rob Zamecnik. The complaint states Goens approached Zamecnik’s vehicle in the 1400 block of Cambridge Place with a handgun with intent to steal cash and marijuana but was prevented from doing so during an apparent struggle.
The complaint also states that a female victim sustained a fractured ankle. Goens faces a charge of aggravated battery and aggravated assault against her.
Goens will appear before Judge William Malcolm at a 1 p.m. hearing Tuesday.
