Two men accused of killing four people in a shooting at a Henry County home in October pleaded not guilty to murder charges Tuesday afternoon.
Jacob Kosky and Matthew Baker face the death penalty in the Oct. 26 shooting that left four dead. The two were supposed to have court appearances last month, but those were rescheduled to allow Baker time to find an attorney.

Police say Kosky and Baker were at a bonfire and gathering when they left and returned to shoot up a home on Moccassin Gap Road in McDonough. Authorities found Jacob Williams, Matthew Hicks, Keith Gibson and Sophia Bullard dead inside the home. Destiny Olinger was taken to a hospital, where she later died.

The duo were indicted on murder, aggravated assault and weapons charges in January. Kosky also faces a theft charge. Henry County District Attorney Darius Pattillo said he plans to seek the death penalty in the case.
Three other people — Jacob Williams, 18, of McDonough, Kayla Head, 21, of McDonough, and Brooke Knight, 19, of Locust Grove — are accused of misdemeanor obstructing for not cooperating with police.
