NEW HAVEN — Tashaun Fair, accused of murder in the shooting death of Mitchell Dubey, had his case continued to another date Wednesday in Superior Court so his attorney can review police reports on the case.
New Haven Chief Public Defender Thomas Ullmann told Judge Patrick Clifford he has not decided whether to request a probable cause hearing, in which prosecutors present evidence in an effort to support the charges.
Fair, 19, of 250 Newhall St., is accused of entering a nearby house on Bassett Street March 24, 2011 and shooting Dubey, 23, in the chest during a botched robbery. He is being held in lieu of $3 million bail.
Fair, dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, smiled at a half-dozen supporters as he entered the courtroom. When Clifford asked him if he had any questions about his case, Fair said he did not.
The next pretrial session was scheduled for Nov. 1.

A 20-year-old New Haven man has been charged in the Sept. 18 slaying of Joseph Mirvil, 29, police said.
Suspect John Claudio, shown,  is charged with murder, police said in a statement. He is being held in lieu of $1 million bail, police spokesman Officer David Hartman said in the statement.
Mirvil was shot to death at the Church Street South housing complex, in the front vestibule of an apartment in the Malcolm Court section of the complex, Hartman said.
“After an intensive investigation, detectives of the Major Crimes Unit obtained an arrest warrant” for Claudio, Hartman said in the statement.
