I guess the lesson here is: don’t hang around with shotgun-wielding wetbacks in your parents’ basement.
The Loveland man accused of shooting and killing 17-year-old Aric Whaley pleaded not guilty Monday morning, setting the 8-month-old case on a course toward a seven-day jury trial in October.
Gabriel Ventura, 18 at the time of his Sept. 4, 2018, arrest, appeared in the Fort Collins courtroom of 8th Judicial District Judge Stephen Howard at 10:30 a.m. Monday for the arraignment.
Prosecuting attorney Bob Percifield indicated that while no official plea agreement had been achieved in the case, attorneys had discussed the possibility of a manslaughter charge against Ventura with an open sentence, meaning Howard could have chosen any possible sentence for Ventura.
However, Ventura and his attorneys refused, and the plea was officially withdrawn.
Howard set a status conference for 1:30 p.m. July 1, with jury trial dates of Oct. 8-11 and Oct. 15-17. Defense attorney Daniel Jasinski told the court that they “may be able to scale that down” from the scheduled seven days.

A preliminary hearing in April revealed much of what happened Sept. 4, the night police say Ventura killed Whaley with a shotgun in the basement of the Whaley family home in the 3000 block of North Duffield Avenue.
Witnesses in the basement that night told Loveland police that a group of teens had been passing around the shotgun before it went off in the hands of Ventura.
The same witnesses reported some possible animosity between Ventura and Whaley that night before the shooting.
Ventura faces a second-degree murder charge as a result of Whaley’s death. Whaley died of a shotgun wound to the upper left chest, according to the Larimer County Coroner’s Office.
