Deangelo Thorne pleaded not guilty during his felony status conference on Oct. 18.
Thorne allegedly stabbed and killed 23-year-old Waliyatou Amadou on Jan. 8, with footage and a GPS tracker placing Thorne at the scene of Amadou’s stabbing.
Amadou was taken to a hospital where she died from her injuries.
Thorne’s charges were changed from second-degree murder while armed to first-degree murder while armed during a felony arraignment on Oct. 11.
The defense still has to decide whether they want to independently test DNA that the prosecution tests.
A status hearing is scheduled for Dec. 1.
