Man Charged in Death of Wichita State Student

A Wichita man has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a Wichita State University student.

Copridge was rearrested Thursday. His preliminary hearing is set for December 17th. He is being represented by a public defender. An after-hours call to the public defender’s office Friday was not answered.
