Update (11:30 a.m.): Two suspects charged with second-degree murder were remanded without bail during brief court appearances Thursday morning. (See updated story here.)
Alcides Lopez-Cambara, 40, and Tyara Lemus, 18, both entered pleas of not guilty at their arraignments before Riverhead Judge Lori Hulse.
Neither the assistant district attorney nor the defendant’s attorneys shed any light on the killing during the arraignment.
They are both due to appear in court again Dec. 15 in what would be a virtual court appearance.
