A trial date has been set for Bailey Boswell, one of two people accused of killing 24-year-old Sydney Loofe.

Boswell will stand trial for first-degree murder beginning on October 15.

The state has said they will seek the death penalty against Boswell.

Boswell, along with Aubrey Trail, is accused of killing Loofe in 2017.

Trail is scheduled to stand trial for first-degree murder in July.
