Dantez Craigmiles, 33, pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder, aggravated burglary and falisfication in the Clark County Municipal Court on Tuesday morning. Bond was set at $500,000.
On Nov. 1 of 2016, around 11:50 p.m. officers and medics were dispatched to a home in the 100 block of South Race Street on a report of a man being shot.
Craigmiles allegedly entered the home without permission and pointed a gun at two witnesses, according to a police report. A man then came out of the bedroom and punched Craigmiles, who shot the man, Kenneth Adams in the chest, the report said. As the man fell to the ground, the suspect walked over and stood over top of Mr. Adams and fired another shot, striking him in the left side of his head, according to the report.

At about 7:45 p.m. Monday, police stopped a vehicle after it had turned the wrong way onto a one-way street. The passenger in the vehicle identified himself as “Jay Bellew,” but dispatch could not find the name in records. The man allegedly also gave his birthdate at “11-6-7-91,” the report said. However, officers were able to identify Craigmiles with pictures and a list of his known tattoos.
While being taken into custody, officers found four bundles of an unknown off-white substance and an unlabeled pill bottle containing 30 Ambien pills in his jacket pocket, the report said. The drugs were sent to the lab for testing, according to the report.
Craigmiles was placed in the Clark County Jail.
