The former Panther football player, who is now… Steven Walker will get his day in court.

The former Panther football player, who is now facing murder charges in Ohio, received his official court date at a pretrial in Stark County, Ohio, Thursday.

Walker has not yet issued a plea. He was arraigned on Sept. 2. His trial is set for Oct. 24, at 9 a.m.

Walker, 19, is accused of shooting and killing Michael Cheek, 17, after an argument at a gas station in Canton, Ohio. He is also charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

After a promising run in high school football, Walker received a scholarship to play at Pitt in the fall of 2004, but after four months on the roster — and no playing time — Walker was dismissed in December.

Police said that Cheek was running to his car when he was shot. He died of massive blood loss.

Wayne Graham, Jr. is representing Walker.
