(KAIR)--No contest.
That's the plea entered Tuesday in Atchison County District Court by the man accused of a fatal 2015 shooting in the parking lot of an Atchison convenience store.
Terell Dixon entered the plea as part of a plea agreement, charging him with voluntary manslaughter and aggravated battery.
As part of the plea, the charge of 2nd degree murder was dismissed.
Prior to entering the plea, Dixon waived both his right to a preliminary hearing and a previous motion seeking immunity on the grounds of self-defense.
Sentencing for Dixon is set for the morning of April 1st.
The two counts contained in the amended complaint both stem from incidents occurring last year. The charge of voluntary manslaughter arises from the September 9th fatal shooting of 24-year-old Winston Downing.
The 19-year-old Dixon is accused of shooting Downing in the head when Downing approached him, carrying a handgun, in the parking lot of King's Convenience Store.
The charge of aggravated battery stems from what court documents say was an attack on an Atchison man the previous day, with Dixon striking the victim on the side of the head with a handgun.
Dixon remains jailed in Atchison County.
