Trial begins in drug-related murder case

A Loganville man will stand trial for murder in Gwinnett County this week in connection with a drug deal gone awry.

Jury selection began Monday in the trial for Omar Falay, charged with murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery. Zachary Bivens and Francelis Dorce were charged as co-defendants. Dorce is expected to testify for the prosecution.

Robert Christopher Morales, 27, of Loganville, was killed Dec. 23, 2008 after he and another man allegedly drove to Grayson to meet two men for a drug deal.

Shots were fired in the car, killing Morales and injuring Falay.
