The 28-year-old Ypsilanti man accused of shooting at cars on the freeway with a sawed-off shotgun had a court hearing rescheduled this week, according to court records.
Elmore Ray was set to appear in court Tuesday for a competency hearing, which has been moved to June 11.
In March, a judge granted a request made by Ray's attorneys from the Washtenaw County Public Defenders Office that he undergo a psychological examination at the Forensic Center in Ypsilanti.
Ray is charged with four counts of assault with intent to murder, four counts of assault with intent to commit great bodily harm, possession of a short-barreled shotgun, carrying a weapon with unlawful intent and possession of a firearm in commission of a felony.
He is accused of being the gunman witnesses said used a sawed-off shotgun just after midnight Feb. 27. to shoot at multiple vehicles on U.S. 23 near Michigan Avenue south of Ann Arbor. No cars were hit and there were no injuries. Pittsfield Township police arrested Ray at gunpoint as he walked west from the area. No motorists were injured.
