Ex-Boyfriend Pleads Not Guilty In Killing Of Pregnant Woman

The ex-boyfriend of a pregnant North Little Rock woman shot to death in June has pleaded not guilty to capital murder.

Quenton King was arrested in July and charged with two counts of capital murder in the shooting death of Megan Price and her unborn child. Police said Price was eight months pregnant when she died.

King appeared in court Wednesday for an arraignment and plea hearing. A bond hearing is scheduled for Oct. 26.

Court records and police reports show a tumultuous relationship between King and Price lasting more than a decade.

King was charged with arson and attempted capital murder in 2011 after someone set fire to Price's Little Rock house with her two daughters inside. Charges were dropped when Price recanted her witness statement.
