Jake England and Alvin Watts are due in district court Monday afternoon.

The men are charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the Easter weekend shootings of William Allen, Bobby Clark and Dannaer Fields, who were killed as they walked near their homes in a predominantly black section of Tulsa. Two others were injured.

All five victims were black, and Watts and England also face hate crime charges. They've pleaded not guilty.

A judge could also rule Monday on a motion filed by Watts' attorneys claiming authorities lacked probable cause to arrest their client.
