LISBON — A new status hearing is set for 1 p.m. June 10 in the aggravated murder case against Curtis D. Holland, the man identified by prosecutors as the other shooter allegedly involved in the 2021 murder of Brycen Douglas.

Holland, 30, Dewey Avenue, East Liverpool, wasn’t transported to the status hearing Thursday in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court after his defense attorneys waived his appearance.

Judge Scott Washam spoke briefly with the attorneys for both sides and they selected the date for another status hearing.

A jury trial remains set for Oct. 5.

Holland was represented by his defense attorneys, Zach Miller and Rhys Cartwright Jones. The state was represented by county Assistant Prosecutors Steve Yacovone and Christopher Weeda.

Holland was charged last year with aggravated murder and murder, both unclassified felonies, a third-degree felony of having weapons while under disability and two firearm specifications. He’s accused of causing Brycen’s 2021 death and using a weapon when he was prohibited from having or using a gun due to a previous drug conviction.

Also indicted at the same time as Holland for the murder was the alleged driver in the case, Travis W. Kidder, 26, Bradshaw Avenue, East Liverpool, who had already been facing a a third-degree felony of obstructing justice for allegedly lying to investigators. A superseding indictment charged him with the obstructing count along with aggravated murder and murder and two counts of complicity in the commission of an offense, all unclassified felonies, and three firearm specifications, all related to the shooting.

He’s scheduled to face a status hearing at 10:20 a.m. April 27 before Common Pleas Court Judge Megan Bickerton. No new trial date has been set.

Douglas was just 20 years old at the time of his death and was sitting on a porch with some friends in East Liverpool’s east end on July 15, 2021 when the shooting occurred.

Elvin “EJ” Tisdale, 35, identified as one of the shooters, was sentenced in June 2025 to life in prison without the possibility of parole for aggravated murder (with the murder charge merged for sentencing), plus an additional mandatory three years for a firearm specification and an additional three years for having weapons under disability for being prohibited from having or using a gun due to a previous felony conviction for drugs.

His “cousin” Allen Tisdale, 25, was sentenced to at least 10 years in prison in July 2025 after testifying in the trial against EJ. He entered a guilty plea in May to involuntary manslaughter, a first-degree felony, and complicity to improperly discharging a firearm at or into a habitation, a second-degree felony. He was originally facing charges of aggravated murder and murder, but eventually told investigators what happened and agreed to testify as part of a plea deal.

He testified at EJ’s trial and said that EJ and Curtis Holland walked between two houses across the street from the porch in question and opened fire, hitting Douglas. Allan said he was the lookout and he identified Travis Kidder as the driver who brought them all to the area near Pennsylvania Avenue.

Both Kidder and Holland remain jailed under $1 million cash or surety bonds.
