Two teens face trial in death

Wednesday, July 21, 1999 | 5:11 a.m.

Ruben Robles and Kody Iverson pleaded innocent on Tuesday to the March 29 shooting death of Iverson's father, Gordon Kirk.

Robles is charged with open murder with the use of a deadly weapon and Iverson faces a charge of principal to murder with a deadly weapon.

Both are 16, but will be tried as adults.

District Judge Jack Ames set Iverson's trial for Feb. 1-11 and Robles' for Feb. 15-25.

Kirk died after being shot three times, once in the back of the head, with a 9 mm handgun at his home following an argument with his son over truancy and hair length.
