BANGOR, Maine (AP) A woman who is charged with two others in a fatal home invasion in Maine has pleaded not guilty.

The Bangor Daily News reports 21-year-old Alexis Locklear, of Maxton, North Carolina, was arraigned Friday in Bangor on one count each of felony murder and robbery. Locklear’s father, 43-year-old Tony Locklear, and her boyfriend, 38-year-old Christopher Murray, both previously pleaded not guilty to intentional or knowing murder, elevated aggravated assault and robbery.

Police say Wayne Lapierre was shot inside his Millinocket home on Dec. 19 and died at a hospital. Lapierre’s wife was injured, but survived.

Prosecutors say the three targeted Lapierre because he was a licensed medical marijuana grower who owned several businesses.

All three are scheduled to go on trial January 2019.
