Romes Brothers' Murder Update: Teen pleads not guilty in Ohio deaths

(CBS/AP) OTTAWA, Ohio - Michael Aaron Fay, a 17-year-old boy charged with killing two teenage brothers in northwest Ohio, has pleaded not guilty.

Fay entered the pleas during an arraignment Tuesday in Putnam County Juvenile Court. He's charged with delinquency in connection with aggravated murder.

Fay is accused of killing 17-year-old Blake Romes and 14-year-old Blaine Romes in their Ottawa trailer May 9.

An Amber Alert for all three teens was issued that day after the mother of the Romes teens discovered a gun and blood inside a trailer where the three boys lived with their mothers.

Fay told officers that the Romes brothers were dead and pointed authorities to their bodies after he was found with a stolen car in Columbus.

A prosecutor said both victims were shot once in the head.
