DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - A Davenport woman charged in a fatal shooting at a Chuck E. Cheese in Davenport has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.
An attorney for Treshonda Pollion, 24, filed a written plea Thursday in the death of 29-year-old Eloise Chairs in October.
Pollion originally was charged with first-degree murder but the lesser charge was filed Dec. 8 after the Scott County Attorney’s office determined the shooting was not premediated, The Quad City Times reported.
Pollion is scheduled for a pretrial conference on Jan. 8.
Police said witnesses reported that Chairs was shot on Oct. 25 after she argued with several people over a game card. When that argument ended, Chairs, Pollion and a witness became involved in another altercation, police said.
A Chuck E. Cheese manager tried to break up the fight after Pollion and Chairs allegedly exchanged punches.
A witness told police she saw Pollion with a gun in her hand and heard Chairs warn others about the gun. Investigators said a single shot was fired during the altercation between Chairs and Pollion.
