A Tulsa County judge postponed England's arraignment on Wednesday.

England and 33-year-old Alvin Watts are both awaiting arraignment on November 26 for the shooting deaths of William Allen, Bobby Clark and Dannaer Fields on April 6. Two other people were shot but survived. All five victims were black.

Prosecutors say the two targeted blacks because the father of England -- who is a Cherokee Indian -- was killed by a black man in 2010.
