Prosecutors say the 24-year-old Northern California musician was killed in a case of mistaken identity. They say the men mistook him for a rival gang member.
Tucker was found dead in his car on Interstate 80 near Hercules on Jan. 10, 2010.
Vega also pleaded not guilty to a separate fatal stabbing at a Santa Rosa elementary school over the weekend.
