Smith, 18, and Efrain Diaz, 20[/caption] Over the weekend, Justin Smith, 18, and Efrain Diaz, 20, were accused of shooting 22-year-old student Jonathan Krueger during a robbery. Krueger died from the gunshot wound, and both Smith and Diaz pleaded not guilty to the charges this afternoon. Hours later, a third arrest was made in the case. A 17-year-old was charged with murder, robbery, and tampering with physical evidence. Because that person is still a juvenile, his/her name was not released. As we told you earlier, the Kentucky Kernel--of which Krueger was the photo editor--is holding a memorial service in his honor tonight at 8 p.m. at Memorial Hall. A scholarship fund has also been set up in Krueger's name, and already has over $20,000 worth of donations. For more info and to donate yourself, click here. [WKYT]
