A bond and preliminary hearing for Nkosi Thandiwe, the suspect in a Midtown shooting spree, was postponed Monday for another week.
Thandiwe, 22, is accused of fatally shooting Brittney Watts around lunchtime on July 15, then wounding two more women with gunfire as he sped away in Watts' car.
One of those victims, Lauren Garcia, was shot in the back and remains paralyzed below her waist. The other, Tiffany Ferenczy, was shot in the calf and returned to work the following week.
Thandiwe's attorney, John A. Garland, would not say Monday why the hearing was put off for a week.
Family members of the victims were in court anticipating some movement in Thandiwe's legal proceedings, but declined to comment.
Police say that on the day of the shootings, Watts encountered Thandiwe on the third level of the parking deck across the street from the office building where she worked.
He shot her in the neck, then took her car and left the parking garage through the entrance gate, shooting randomly at people walking along the street and hitting Ferenczy and Garcia, investigators say.
All three women worked in the Proscenium building at 14th Street and Crescent Avenue in Midtown, as did Thandiwe, who had been a security guard there for about a year.
It remains unclear what relationship, if any, Thandiwe may have had with Watts, Garcia or Ferenczy.
He is due back before a Fulton County judge on Monday, Oct. 3.
