Superior Court Perry B. Inos said Hocog’s hearing will resume within the next two weeks.
The 22-year-old Hocog has been in custody of the Department of Corrections since his arrest on March 4.
He is being held on a $100,000 cash bail.
Citing the defendant’s risk to the community, Inos denied the motion for bail modification filed by Hocog’s counsel, the Public Defender’s Office.
Hocog earlier denied the charges of one count of voluntary manslaughter, one count of aggravated assault and battery, and assault and battery in connection with the death of Larry Garcia Gonzales, 37.
The charge of murder in the second degree was earlier dismissed by the court.
On March 1, Gonzales was attacked near Kagman High School by Hocog.
Police said Hocog punched the victim in the face, causing Gonzales to fall and hit his head on the concrete pavement.
Gonzales, who lost consciousness after the incident, died after being in a coma for four days at the Commonwealth Health Center.
