Not Guilty Plea Entered In Fatal Shooting Near UW-Stevens Point Campus

A 23-year-old Portage County man has entered a not guilty plea in the fatal shooting of his roommate.  Deion Jones made a Monday court appearance to enter that plea.  Deonte Lezine was killed two years ago in a drug deal that went bad near the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point campus.  The shooter, Kyle Engen, is serving an 18-year sentence on a second-degree intentional homicide conviction.  Jones is charged with felony murder for driving a car involved in the March 2016 shooting.  Investigators say he knew of the plot to try to steal the marijuana and had arranged the meeting.
