"ST. LOUIS • A bond hearing for a St. Louis police officer accused of killing a fellow officer in a Russian roulette-like shooting was continued Monday until April.
Nathaniel Hendren, 29, will remain on house arrest at an undisclosed location until then.
He appeared before St. Louis Circuit Judge Thomas McCarthy Monday morning at the Carnahan Courthouse wearing a navy blue suit alongside his attorney, Talmage Newton IV.
Hendren was charged in January with involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action after police say he fatally shot off-duty officer Katlyn Alix during the early morning hours of Jan. 24.
Prosecutors told the judge Monday that they want to secure a superseding indictment from a grand jury, which has not yet happened, and asked that the hearing be continued until April 29....
Alix’s mother, Aimee Lyn Wahlers, attended the hearing along with several other family members and friends. She followed Hendren out of the courtroom as he was escorted by about a dozen sheriff’s deputies.
She stared at him as he got into a waiting black SUV outside the courthouse and stood silently about 10 feet away, surrounded by her friends and family, until it drove away . She left without speaking to reporters.
Alix’s husband, St. Louis police Officer Anthony Meyer, did not attend the hearing Monday.
Hendren posted 10 percent of a $100,000 bail, and has been on house arrest with GPS monitoring at an undisclosed location. He also was required to surrender all of his firearms and his passport."
