A preliminary hearing is scheduled Wednesday for a man accused in the shooting death last summer of another man in a Carlsbad home.
David Diaz, 31, is charged with murder in the death of 24-year-old Asher C. Freeman at a residence in the 3500 block of Sierra Morena about 5:45 p.m. on Aug. 7.
Diaz, a resident of the home, called police to report the shooting and was later arrested. He was treated for minor hand injuries before he was booked into jail early the next day. Diaz remains held in lieu of $5 million bail.
