The trial of three city men accused of fatally shooting former City Councilman Kenneth N. Harris in 2008 was postponed Friday at the request of defense attorneys.

A new trial date was not immediately scheduled.

Charles Y. McGaney, 21, Gary Collins, 21, and Jerome Williams, 17, face first-degree murder charges in the fatal shooting of Harris at the Northwood Shopping Center on Sept. 20, 2008. All three remain held without bond at the city detention center.
