A Salisbury teen refused to accept a plea agreement on charges he faces in the 2007 shooting death of Treasure Feamster.

Reginald Terrell Leach, 18, stood up in Rowan Superior Court Thursday afternoon and told Judge Calvin Murphy he was not going to take the plea.

Leach was charged in March 2007 for first-degree murder and most recently was indicted by a grand jury for felony inciting to riot.

Feamster, 13, was shot and killed outside the J.C. Price American Legion Post following a party there.

The Rowan District AttorneyĆ­s Office was going to reduce the first-degree murder charge to second-degree and consolidate the rioting charge. See FridayĆ­s Post for more details.
