Man Pleads Not Guilty in Neighbor's Murder

0:00A 42-year-old Kansas City man faces first-degree murder charges in the shooting death of his 41-year-old neighbor back in January. Jeffrey Travis King pleaded not guilty to the charges, which also include armed criminal action. He's been held in the Platt County jail on a $2 million cash bond, down from an original $5 million set by the judge. The neighborhood in Maple Woods estates has felt the loss deeply, with residents leaning on each other more since the tragedy struck in the street, outside their homes. Earlier this week, a judge set King's trial for November 30th, with the next hearing on April 10th at 1.30 pm. The case is now under seal, limiting public details to just court dates. As the community waits for answers, the focus stays on justice for Christopher Cole Wells, remembered as a devoted dad and outdoors enthusiast.
