Tyson Langley, the 15-year-old accused of murdering two people at a Peoria smoke shop last month, was in Maricopa County Superior Court this morning where he pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder.
Despite his young age, Langley's being charged as an adult.
Langley's accused of murdering Melinda Bowen, 38, and Kenneth Matlock, 60, at the Euphorium Emporium smoke shop in Peoria on the afternoon of January 17.
According to court records obtained by
New Times, Langley was arrested on Los
Angeles' Skid Row two days after the murders, after a "BOLO" (be on the
lookout) had been issued for him by Peoria police.
When he was
taken into custody, Langley had a gun in his possession -- violating
California's minor in possession of a firearm law.
Peoria police
picked Langley up at Los Angeles' East Lake Juvenile Detention Facility
and brought him back to the Valley, where he was booked into a Maricopa
County jail on two counts of first degree murder.
