Teens accused of murder appear in court with smiles as trial looms

Cape Coral Police say Christopher Horne Jr. and Thomas Stein killed 15-year-old Kayla Rincon-Miller nearly a year ago.

She was walking to McDonald's with friends when police say Horne and Stein tried to rob them, before killing Rincon-Miller.

They will have their pre-trial hearings on May 8, but the State asked they remain separate.

No trial date has been set, but it could be this year.
