Hopkinsville, KY – A Hopkinsville teenager charged with slaying a youth sports coach is scheduled to appear in court today. The Kentucky New Era reports that a preliminary hearing for 19-year-old Seth E. Wallen is set for 2 this afternoon in Christian County District Court.
Wallen is charged with shooting 38-year-old Corey "Big Ike" Trice to death a week ago. Trice coached youth teams every Saturday morning of the basketball and football seasons for at least a decade. He was found in front of his mother's home after being shot multiple times on October 9th. Hopkinsville Police Sergeant Rick McCormack says a concerned citizen provided the tip that led to Wallen's arrest.
