A lawyer says an 18-year-old will plead not guilty and may argue self-defense in a shooting that wounded three people last week at a Las Vegas Strip shopping mall.
Attorney John Turco said Tuesday that Christopher Valenzuela-Olivas posted $100,000 bail following a court appearance Monday but remained jailed while authorities arranged electronic home monitoring.
Valenzuela-Olivas is due again in court March 30 on attempted murder charges.
Turco denied his client is a gang member and said at least one punch was thrown before gunfire erupted during a dispute involving several people Jan. 21 at the Fashion Show Mall.
