ALHAMBRA, Calif. (AP) - An employee of a Chinese-language newspaper in Southern California has pleaded not guilty in the fatal shooting of his boss.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office says Zhong Qi Chen entered the plea Monday to one count of murder and allegations that he personally used a handgun and caused great bodily injury and death.
