TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Trial proceedings are scheduled to begin Thursday in Tacoma for four people accused of helping Maurice Clemmons last November after he shot and killed four Lakewood police officers.

KIRO-FM reports the four charged with rendering criminal assistance include Clemmons’ half-brother Rickey Hinton. Also on trial are Doug Davis, Eddie Davis, and Letrecia Nelson.

Motions and jury selection will take up the first week of the trial. Two others have already been convicted of helping Clemmons.

The accused getaway driver, Darcus Allen goes on trial in March on aggravated murder charges.

Clemmons was killed two days after the murders in a confrontation with a Seattle police officer.
