A man authorities say terrorized visitors around the Malibu State Park area by randomly shooting at them, killing one, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to a 16-count indictment, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.
Anthony Rauda, 43, was indicted on Oct. 21 for one count of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and five counts of second-degree burglary. Rauda was also charged with several burglaries that occurred in the Calabasas area, according to the district attorney’s office. The grand jury indictment was unsealed Tuesday.
Rauda, an apparent drifter, pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Tuesday’s unsealed grand jury indictment supersedes and mirrors the criminal case initially filed in January by the district attorney’s office.
