Libby man’s deliberate homicide trial delayed until January

KALISPELL (AP) — The trial of a 74-year-old Libby man accused of shooting and killing another man in his living room and then not reporting the incident for 18 hours has been pushed back.

Henry Carl Schroeder’s trial was scheduled to start last month but has been rescheduled for January.

The Flathead Beacon reports that Schroeder has been charged with deliberate homicide and tampering with evidence in the Jan. 31 shooting death of Thomas Lawrence Veloz.
