MANITOWOC (NBC 26) — Trial dates have been set for a 21-year-old man accused of fatally shooting another man in Manitowoc County last fall, court records show.

Kirk Dunn, 21, was at the Manitowoc County Courthouse on Thursday for a final scheduling hearing, where a trial was scheduled to begin on Nov. 16.

The trial is expected to last one week. A motion hearing was scheduled ahead of the trial for July 10.
