Former U.S. Army soldier enters not guilty plea in cab driver murder
A 21-year-old former U.S. Army soldier charged in the shooting death of a cabdriver earlier this month pleaded not guilty Wednesday.
Autumn Dawn Murry was indicted last week on one count each of murder with use of a deadly weapon, burglary while in possession of a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon and two counts of armed robbery in connection with the slaying of Las Vegan Tesfaye Arze, 30. Murry is also accused of robbing a Mini-Mart in the 4500 block of East Russell Road, near Mountain Vista Street.
Arze was robbed of $224.60 while $500 was taken from the store, a police report states.
Arze was found with a gunshot wound to his head early on March 4 in the 6300 block of High Sierra Avenue, near Mount Hood Street and Carey Avenue, just a block from the address on Murry’s driver’s license.
The key piece of evidence in the case was a security video released that showed two people in the cab shortly before Arze was found. One person is believed to be Murry. Police are still looking for the other person, Felicia Mosley, 18, of Las Vegas.
A trial date was set for April 2, 2012. She is being held at the Clark County Detention Center without bail.
