The man charged with the murder of Berkeley basketball legend Gene Ransom in a freeway shooting in 2022 has been ordered to stand trial, court records show.

Ransom first won acclaim as an athlete at Berkeley High in the 1970s and went on to play basketball for Cal. He was later inducted into UC Berkeley's Hall of Fame as one of its top point guards.

Many people reported on this shooting when it happened but The Scanner is the only outlet to have followed the case. 

Here's the latest.
