Venue change motion for Bloomfield double homicide case pending; one sentencing moved to late June
KNOX COUNTY, Neb. (KCAU) — A judge overseeing one of the two people charged in the Bloomfield, Nebraska, double homicide case has a motion to change venue under advisement.
Court documents indicated that during a hearing on Tuesday, a judge order the district court clerk to send an additional 100 expanded jury questionnaires to random prequalified people.
The case stems back to February 2024, when Alias Reed was accused of killing two people at a bowling alley.
The change of venue motion is pending until those questionnaires are received back and reviewed by both parties.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for June 24 while the jury trial is still set to start on July 14.
Both of them will currently happen at the Knox County District Court.

Meanwhile, the other suspect in the double homicide case, Kaylyne Sweazy, had her sentencing date pushed back to June 24. That's set to take place at the Knox County District Court.
She pleaded no contest back on March 12 to the charges of attempted tampering with physical evidence and accessory to a felony as part of a plea agreement. A judge found Sweazy guilty on those charges.
Officials claimed Sweazy helped Reed hide the gun used during the crime.
