CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - A trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 26 for a 20-year-old man accused of fatally stabbing a Cedar Rapids resident during a drug robbery.
Linn County court records say Darius Alexander has pleaded not guilty to murder, robbery and conspiracy charges. He’s accused of killing 18-year-old Christopher Arteberry Jr. on Sept. 30, 2016, during an attempt to steal marijuana from Arteberry. Police say Arteberry was stabbed in the parking lot of a Cedar Rapids apartment complex and later found inside an apartment.
A criminal complaint says Emily Young was driving Alexander that day. The 22-year-old has since pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact, and her sentencing is set for Dec. 19.
