A New Jersey judge has denied a request by a New York man to dismiss charges against him in the fatal shooting of his wife.

The Star-Ledger reports that a Superior Court judge in Morristown on Friday rejected an argument by attorneys for Kashif Parvaiz that prosecutors were selective in evidence they showed a grand jury.

Parvaiz, a 27-year-old New York City resident, and his 28-year-old alleged accomplice, Antoinette Stephen of Massachusetts, are facing murder, conspiracy and weapons charges in the death of Parvaiz's wife.

Twenty-seven year-old Nazish Noorani was fatally shot in August 2011 while walking with Parvaiz and one of their children in the New Jersey suburb of Boonton where Noorani's family lived.
