EL CAJON
A 26-year-old man accused of shooting into a parked car in Spring Valley earlier this year, killing a woman seated inside, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to murder and other felony charges.
Jammerieo Austin is accused of firing more than a dozen rounds into the car the night of April 24, in an incident prosecutors say was gang-related.
Karmen Dionne Anderson, 40, of San Diego was fatally injured but she was not the shooter’s intended target, Deputy District Attorney Chris Lawson said in court. Her husband was in the driver’s seat and a 4-year-old child was in the backseat of the car when one of the bullets hit the gas tank, causing it to erupt in flames.

EAST COUNTY
A murder charge was dismissed Tuesday against a man accused in his friend’s shooting death last year at a rural East County property near Dehesa.
Daniel Christopher Allen, 50, was arrested on suspicion of murder in the Nov. 19 shooting death of 31-year-old James Owens. Allen previously faced 77 years to life in state prison had he been convicted of murder and several firearm-use allegations in connection with the shooting, which was reported around 10:30 p.m. on Stallion Oaks Road, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
Before deputies arrived, an acquaintance of Owens’ drove him about a mile and a half from the shooting scene, sheriff’s Lt. Thomas Seiver said.
