Suspect pleads not guilty fatal shooting at Chuck E. Cheese

News

December 18th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — A 24-year-old Davenport woman charged with fatally shooting a woman at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. Threshonda Pollion entered the plea in writing Thursday through her attorney. She was originally charged with first-degree murder in the death of 29-year-old Elosie Chairs, a mother of five, in late October. The charge was reduced after the Scott County Attorney’s office determined the shooting was not premeditated.

Police say the shooting occurred after a fight broke out between Chairs and others over a game card, which led to a confrontation between Chairs and Pollion.
