LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – A man accused in the fatal shooting of a 3-year-old
boy in Little Rock has pleaded not guilty to preliminary charges of capital
murder and two counts of committing a terroristic act.
Gary Eugene Holmes entered the plea Friday morning, about 12 hours after he
turned himself in at police headquarters in connection with the Dec. 17 death of
Acen (AY’-sin) King.
Little Rock District Judge Alice Lightle ruled that Holmes be held in jail
without bond, and a review hearing was set for Feb. 22.
Police accuse Holmes of firing his gun into a car driven by Acen’s
grandmother. The boy was struck by gunfire and died at a hospital.
