LOS ANGELES — A Utah man has pleaded not guilty to killing two men, including a California deputy.
Rhett Mckenzie Nelson, 30, of St. George, entered his plea for charges of murder, attempted murder and robbery, KTLA reports.
Nelson is accused of walking into a Jack in the Box restaurant in California on June 10, shooting Deputy Joseph Solano, 50, in the head with a handgun one time and fleeing.
Solano later succumbed to his injuries.
