ORLANDO, Fla. – Prosecutors in the case involving a man charged in the death of a 15-year-old girl whose body was dumped along an Orange County road have been given more time to prepare.

Ramsys Cruz Abreu is charged with manslaughter after prosecutors say he tried to cover up Melanie Medina's death in April. Investigators say another teen girl accidentally shot Medina inside a car.
