8 years ago, US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was murdered. His suspected murderer is finally going on trial

The Mexican gang member accused of killing U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in 2010, an event that led to the unearthing of the Obama-era Fast and Furious scandal, has pleaded not guilty on the charge of first-degree murder and eight other charges, a Justice Department official confirmed to the Washington Examiner late Wednesday.

Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes appeared in federal court in Tucson, Ariz., Wednesday following his extradition from Mexico Monday.

U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona Judge Eric Markovich ordered Osorio-Arellanes to jail and set the trial start date on Sept. 11.
