JUNCTION, Piute County — A teenager pleaded guilty on Monday to shooting and killing his girlfriend, Jacqueline “Jacky” Nunez-Millan, 16, on Jan. 8.
Francisco Daniel Aguilar, 17, was charged on Jan. 13 in the 6th District Court with aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder and felony discharge of a firearm; all first-degree felonies; and two counts of aggravated assault, a second-degree felony.
Judge Marvin Bagley ruled on June 6, less than a week before the plea, that there is enough evidence to order Aguilar to stand trial for two of those counts: aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder.
The other three charges were dismissed by the judge, and the attempted murder charge was not included in amended charges filed by prosecutors although it was bound over. This may be the result of a plea deal.
