Old Market murder case going to trial

OMAHA, Neb. -- Douglas County authorities say the case of a murder in the Old Market will now go to trial.

22-year-old Nolan King was arrested last month after investigators say he fatally assaulted 41-year-old Rodney Pettit at the Parliament Pub.

According to court documents, King struck Pettit with a glass bottle.

Authorities found Pettit unconscious on the floor of the pub and took him to Nebraska Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, where he died two days later.

King is charged with second-degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

The judge also decided on Tuesday that no bond is allowed.
