Joseph ‘DoDa’ Craig of Junction City has been bound over for arraignment and trial in Geary County District Court in connection with the January shooting death of David Phillips, 24, Manhattan.

During preliminary hearing testimony, Police Lieutenant Trish Giordano discussed  information that had been received from witnesses in the case, which indicated there had allegedly been discussion between Craig and and co-defendant Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Williams, 19, Junction City, about robbing and shooting Phillips, and stealing his money and marijuana. Other information provided to police by witnesses indicated it was Craig who had allegedly “ended up pulling the trigger,”that  Williams had grabbed a backpack with marijuana in it and jumped out of a window at the time of the incident, and later Craig had been caught on bank video allegedly depositing money from the robbery into his accounts at the Central National Bank.

Craig faces multiple charges including Conspiracy to Commit Murder, Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Robbery, Aggravated Robbery, Criminal Possession of a Firearm by a Previously Convicted Felon, and in the alternative Premeditated 1st Degree Murder or Felony Murder. Craig has been bound over for arraignment in District Court on December 2nd. According to County Attorney Steve Opat, Williams faces the same counts, with the exception of the criminal possession of a firearm by a previously convicted felon count.
