Cinecca Madison is being charged in the shooting death of 19-year-old Antory Burrell earlier this year. Both Burrell and 18-year-old Demontae Knight Jr. were shot while riding their bikes on 16th Street and College Avenue, near Hope College, in June.
Court documents state Burrell was shot four times and Knight was shot six or seven times. Knight told police he acted dead to avoid being shot again
In addition to a felony murder charge, which carries up to life in prison, Madison also faces a charge of assault with intent to murder and two felony firearm charges for a pistol used in the shooting.
Madison, who was found competent to stand trial during a September hearing, pleaded not guilty Monday, which allows him to take his case to trial. Madison will be in court next for a pre-trial conference.

Lopez, speaking by way of interpreter, told Ottawa County Circuit Judge Karen Miedema that he became upset upon “seeing her with her new boyfriend holding his son.”
“He’s extremely remorseful for what happened in that moment,” Lopez’s attorney, Jordan Vahdat, said, adding there are “immigration issues at play” for Lopez because of the charge.
Vahdat described Lopez as an “avid fisherman” and an “active participant in his child’s life and nieces’ and nephews’ (lives).”
“So he’s going to pay for this,” Vahdat said.
