Three teenagers will stand trial March 28 for the murder of Garrett Berki, who was shot to death after he responded to a Craigslist ad about a computer for sale in Paradise Hills. The trio appeared Oct. 27 before San Diego Superior Court Judge Robert O\u2019Neill and waived their right to have a speedy trial. They have pleaded not guilty to murder, two robberies and shooting at an occupied vehicle in the May 11 incident. After a two-day preliminary hearing, San Diego Superior Court Judge Joan Weber ruled there was enough evidence against Rashon Jay Abernathy, 17, Shaquille Jordan, 17 and Seandell Lee Jones, 18, to justify a trial. They face trial as adults and are accused of committing the crime as members or associates of a criminal street gang. After Berki, a 2010 graduate of La Jolla High School, and his girlfriend were robbed of $640 and their cell phones, he followed the trio in his car as they turned into a cul-de-sac to try and get their license number. Deputy District Attorney Kristian Trocha said Abernathy fired a shot that went through the windshield of Berki\u2019s car, striking Berki in the chest. Abernathy and Jordon remain in Juvenile Hall on $5 million bail. Jones was transferred to the George Bailey Detention Facility after he turned 18.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
