Kazius Childress, 20, pleaded not guilty to both charges of murder last week. Police say he shot and killed Cordal Lewis on January 27 in the 300 block of 31st Street Drive SE and then shot and killed Kavon Johnson at 2250 Blakley Boulevard SE the next morning.
U.S. Marshals arrested Childress in Davenport five months after the killings. Investigators say surveillance video evidence shows Childress shooting and killing Lewis and video evidence also links him to Johnson's death as well.

His murder trial for Lewis' death is scheduled for April 18 next year and the murder trial for Johnson's death is scheduled to begin on May 16.
