Man, 20, pleads not guilty to murder in California DUI crash

A 20-year-old Long Beach man has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges for a Halloween night crash that killed a husband, his wife and their 3-year-old son as they walked home from trick-or-treating in Southern California.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office says Carlo Navarro denied all allegations at his arraignment. He was ordered back to court Jan. 16 for a preliminary hearing.

Prosecutors say Navarro was intoxicated when he crashed his SUV into 30-year-old Joseph Awaida, his 32-year-old wife, Raihan Awaida and their 3-year-old son, Omar.

Awaida died that night, his son died Nov. 2 and his wife died Nov. 3.

Navarro faces as much as 45 years to life in prison if convicted on all counts.
