MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) — A July trial has been scheduled for a Marshalltown man accused of killing his brother.

The Marshalltown Times-Republican reports that lawyers for 22-year-old Jordan Parker submitted a written plea to the charge of second-degree murder. His trial is set to begin July 25.

Authorities say Parker fatally stabbed his 21-year-old brother, Isaiah Parker, during a scuffle April 26 that escalated at the home they shared.
