Bond has been set at $750,000 for an 18-year-old Bottineau, N.D., man charged with fatally shooting two fellow employees at a north-central North Dakota hog farm.
Jeremy Rodriguez Rios appeared Thursday in Bottineau County District Court, where he was charged with two counts of felony murder in the deaths of 37-year-old Brian Story and 50-year-old Christopher Sluder.
All three worked at Turtle Mountain Pork, a commercial hog operation near Souris, N.D., in Bottineau County. Sluder managed the business.
Investigators say Rodriguez Rios admitted to shooting the two men with a handgun on Tuesday and throwing the gun in the sewage pit below the hog barns.
Rodriguez Rios' next scheduled court date is April 17.
