LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A Lincoln man pleaded not guilty Wednesday in a shooting that killed a 69-year-old woman as she rode on a Lincoln city bus.
Joel Jones Jr., 28, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and four felony weapons counts in the July 23 shooting that killed Sharon Johnson, the Lincoln Journal Star reported.
Prosecutors believe Jones was in the back seat of a car that afternoon and pulled a handgun out of his waistband, pointed it out the window and told others in the car, “Watch me shoot at this bus.” Johnson was shot in the head and was pronounced dead at a Lincoln hospital.
A trial date for Jones was not immediately set.
