Man faces hearing in N. Ogden slaying
During a hearing Tuesday in 2nd District Court, a judge scheduled a Feb. 9 preliminary hearing for Johnny Maurice Bell Jr., 21. He is charged with first-degree felony murder and domestic violence in the presence of a child, a third-degree felony, in the death of 23-year-old Brittany Nichols.
Police said Nichols was stabbed to death after she tried to break up with Bell. Her 3-year-old daughter was in the home at the time of the slaying.
Court records said a judge kept bail set for Bell at $500,000. He remains in the Weber County Jail.
