Malcolm Bryant at his last court appearance at Rochester City Court.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Malcolm Bryant, the man accused of a fatal shooting following a bar fight on Thurston Road, plead not guilty following his arraignment Thursday afternoon in Monroe County Court.
A grand jury indicted Bryant on charges of second-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder and weapon charges.
Bryant plead not guilty to all the charges against him.
Police report that Bryant killed Robert Prescott on Feb. 9 on Thurston Road, after Bryant got into a fight inside the Thurston Road bar with Robert Prescott’s friend.
In a previous court appearance at Rochester City Court, the victim’s daughter, Tateanna Prescott, shared her grief.
“He was a good person – he gave back whenever he could,” Tateanna Prescott said. “I don’t know he was a good dad – I’ll miss my dad. He was a good person.”
Bryant’s bail is set at $200,000 cash or a $600,000 insured bond and is scheduled to appear in court next on April 17 for a motion argument, with a jury trial tentatively set to start Sept. 8.
