Defendants in the 2014 homicide case of 38-year-old Willard Carlos Shelton rejected a plea deal today presented by the government approximately a week ago.
Tyrone Height and James Young, who have been charged with five counts of first-degree murder while armed and three counts of felony murder while armed, will return to court on Feb. 14 for a motions hearing.
Shelton was shot and killed on the 2500 block of Pomeroy Road, SE. Young, 24, and Height, 25, were both apprehended on Sept. 3, 2014.
A trial is set for March 13.
