A Manhattan man charged in an October double homicide has pleaded not guilty.
Montrell Vassar will appear at a May 24 hearing in front of Judge John Bosch, during which a jury-trial date will be decided upon.
Vassar faces two first degree murder charges in the deaths of 19-year-old Skylar Havens and 23-year-old Javon Gray.
Both were killed Oct. 9 at a residence in the Stagg Hill area.
Vassar also faces an alternative charge of possessing a stolen gun.
At an October court appearance, Riley County Deputy Attorney Trinity Muth argued an autopsy revealed both Havens and Gray were shot in the back.
