DETROIT (AP) — A man charged in the shotgun deaths of three
people in front of small children inside an abandoned Detroit house has
pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder.
Twenty-six-year-old
Kevin Lewis made the plea Monday in Wayne County Circuit Court. He’d
been charged with three counts of first-degree murder.
Authorities
say that 25-year-old Lauren Trotty and 20-year-olds India Coleman and
Curtis Clemens were slain in March 2013 at the vacant house being used
by squatters.
A 5-year-old girl was found inside the next day and
told neighbors she saw a man kill her mother and the others. A
1-year-old child also was in the house.
Lewis’ sentencing is
scheduled June 3. Twenty-two-year-old Shadell Love is charged with three
counts of first-degree murder and faces trial June 2.
