Jugnauth also told Gates he and the prosecution will have to schedule pre-trial motions, likely next November.

The lawyer said Truong’s trial will run from Feb. 8 to March 19, 2021.

Jurors to hear the case will be selected Feb. 4.

Truong is charged in the Sept. 20, 2016 shooting deaths of Calgarians Cuc Lung and Quang Tran.

Truong was arrested in April 2018 for the deaths of Lung, 34, and Tran, 38, who were gunned down while sitting in a vehicle outside their Redstone Manor N.E. home.
