A sailor arrested Tuesday pled not guilty to charges of murder and assault with a deadly weapon in the Saturday shooting of two San Diego men, one of whom was killed.
Aviation Ordnanceman 3rd Class (AW) Harvey Herat Jordan III, 26, was held on a $1 million bond, a San Diego television station reported.
Jordan is assigned to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 41 at Naval Air Station North Island, Calif.
He was charged with shooting two men and killing Dennis E. Trollinger, 31, in the Lincoln Acres neighborhood outside San Diego, according to the television station. Another man, Aaron Wilkerson, 36, was shot and taken to a local hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening wound.
Sheriff's deputies had responded to the Lincoln Acres neighborhood after someone reported hearing gunshots after a verbal fight in the street about 2 a.m. Saturday. Witnesses saw a Ford Mustang speed away from the scene, according to deputies.
No charges were filed against a second sailor, AO3 Cloris Jerome Cannon, also arrested in connection to the shooting. Cannon transferred last month from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk to the carrier George Washington.
The deputies, along with Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents, took Jordan and Cannon into custody Tuesday at the 32nd Street Naval Station without incident, the sheriff's department said in a press release.
SAN DIEGO -- Detectives arrested two active-duty sailors Tuesday in connection with a shooting that killed one man and wounded another outside a South Bay nightspot, a sheriff's official reported.
Cloris Jerome Cannon and Harvey Herat Jordan III, both 26, surrendered without incident at U.S. Naval Reservation San Diego on 32nd Street in San Diego about 1 a.m., homicide Lt. Dennis Brugos said.
Cannon and Jordan allegedly got into an argument with Dennis Trollinger, 31, and Aaron Wilkerson, 36, at N City Sports Lounge on Sweetwater Road in Lincoln Acres about 2 a.m. last Saturday, Brugos said.
The four men left the bar, and the quarrel continued outside, moving into the 3300 block of nearby Cypress Street, the lieutenant said. A short time later, gunfire rang out, wounding Trollinger and Wilkerson.
The shooter and his companion fled the area in a late-model red Ford Mustang GT.
Trollinger, a Chula Vista resident, died at the scene. Medics took Wilkerson to a hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Cannon and Jordan were each booked into county jail on suspicion of murder and assault with a deadly weapon, Brugos said.
