RENO, Nev. (AP) – A Reno man has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the death of a 22-year-old California man.
Quincy Ray Solomon Julian also pleaded guilty Thursday to attempted robbery with the use of a deadly weapon and grand larceny.
Donnie Kellison of Fresno, Calif., was bludgeoned to death in August 2008 at a motel in Reno.
Police have said Julian and Kellison were left alone when two other men they were with went to look for prostitutes. Police have said Julian fatally beat Kellison with a rifle that belonged to another man because he wanted to sell it for drug money.
Sentencing is set for Feb. 16. The 31-year-old Julian faces a possible sentence of life in prison without parole.
