SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A woman accused of driving three men suspected of firing a barrage of shots into a Sioux City home during a New Year’s party and killing a woman has pleaded not guilty to gun charges.
Liliana Gutierrez, 20, of Sioux City, pleaded not guilty Thursday to intimidation with a dangerous weapon and three counts of reckless use of a firearm, the Sioux City Journal reported.
Police have said Gutierrez drove 19-year-old Christopher Morales, 18-year-old Carlos Morales and 18-year-old Anthony Bauer to the house shortly after midnight on Jan. 1.
