SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A San Francisco man arrested in connection with a fatal shooting at a weekend gay pride event has pleaded not guilty to two felony gun charges.
Twenty-year-old Ed Perkins was initially arrested on suspicion of murder in the death of 19-year-old Stephen Powell. But prosecutors say there is not enough evidence to pursue a murder charge.
Perkins pleaded not guilty to possessing a concealed weapon and possessing a loaded weapon during his arraignment on Wednesday.
He remains in jail on $100,000 bail. A preliminary hearing has been set for July 14.
Police say they are still not ruling Perkins out as the triggerman in Powell’s death. Powell was shot during a street party in San Francisco’s Castro district late Saturday.
