NEWPORT — A 17-year-old Newport youth said Thursday he was not guilty in the shooting death of Newport High School basketball standout Anthony “Petey” Greene during a street altercation in July.
Michael McIntosh, who will turn 18 on Nov. 1, entered the not guilty plea to a charge of murder through his public defender, Pat Walsh, during arraignment proceedings in the Campbell Circuit Court of Judge Leonard Kopowski.
Mr. McIntosh, dressed in a dark blue suit, stated his name and address and after pleading not guilty immediately left the courtroom in the custody of a Campbell County Sheriff's deputy.
Members of the Greene family, including Petey Greene's mother, Vanessa Greene, were present for the arraignment. They did not wish to speak after the hearing.
Mr. McIntosh is accused of shooting Mr. Greene, 18, on July 21 during a confrontation involving at least four young men in the 900 block of Isabella Street.
According to Newport police, Mr. McIntosh pulled a .380-caliber handgun from his waistband, waved it in the air and then fired one shot at a friend and classmate of Mr. Greene's, 18-year-old Gabe Krull. The bullet missed.
When Mr. Greene grabbed Mr. McIntosh's arm and asked him to stop, he allegedly shot Mr. Greene in the chest. Mr. Greene was pronounced dead a short time later at University Hospital.
Mr. McIntosh, who was apprehended less than a block from the shooting scene, appeared first in juvenile court and was later bound over to the Campbell County grand jury where he was indicted a week ago as an adult on a murder charge.
