DENVER—Evidence against an Uber driver charged with shooting a passenger shows the driver was outside the car when he fired a handgun 10 times, striking the passenger inside six times, prosecutors said on Sept. 28.

Denver Judge Shelley Gilman ruled that there was enough evidence for 29-year-old Michael Hancock to stand trial for the June death of 45-year-old Hyun Kim after Friday’s hearing, which provided the clearest glimpse yet of why prosecutors charged Hancock with first-degree murder.
