Jody Fenner was shot during an alleged altercation at a car show at the Ogle Road Sports Ground. Another man was hurt during the incident.
The Hawks in KwaZulu-Natal says the matter returns to court in August.
Meanwhile, Fenner's cousin Mark Gokool says the family is struggling. He says Fenner had so much to live for.

"He was a go getter - he had lots of dreams. His life was cut short - he was starting his life at 29. He was a gentleman and a gentle person. These are sad times for us," Gokool said.
