A trial date was set Wednesday morning for the two people charged in the Palo Verde High School shooting. Gerald Davison and Ezekiel Williams both waived their rights to preliminary hearings. Their trial was scheduled for April 23.

Both are charged with murder and attempted murder in the Feb. 15 shooting death of Palo Verde High School student Chris Privett.

Prosecutors added gang and deadly weapon enhancements to the charges.

They're not new charges, but would add weight to the sentencing in the event of a guilty verdict.

Prosecutors say both Williams and Davison are associated with the Squad Up gang and that someone walking with Privett at the time of his death may have been affiliated with another gang.
