The six men, five of whom are from Dallas, Texas, were arrested in November 2020 for the fatal shooting of Olsen, a Nevada County woman authorities say was shot in the head after a drug deal gone wrong. They have now all been charged with one conspiracy count of transporting marijuana, one count of theft with false pretenses, and are being collectively charged with discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle, according to the Nevada County District Attorney’s Office.
Gang enhancement charges have also been attached to the marijuana and theft charges, court documents show.
The defendants named in the grand jury’s indictment are Dakari Mondell Harris, 22, of Shreveport, Louisiana; Trey Rondal Richard, 23; Devon Deontae Jennings, 21; William Rynell Levise, 31; Ronney Turner, 31; and Laderrick Timothy Wynn, 20. All six defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charges against them, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
