Daniel Breijo will stand trial in April 2027 for allegedly killing Nicholas Van Pelt, an Air National Guardsman, on Christmas Eve 2023.
Daniel Breijo will stand trial beginning 12 April 2027 for the fatal shooting of Nicholas Van Pelt, an Air National Guardsman, at Van Pelt's Minot apartment on Christmas Eve 2023. Breijo is also charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and terrorising for shooting and injuring Van Pelt's girlfriend.
A judge previously rejected a plea deal between prosecutors and the defence that would have sentenced Breijo to 20 years in prison and downgraded the murder charge to manslaughter. Both parties agreed the trial would require only one week.
Jury questionnaires are set to be submitted to the court for approval by the end of the year. If convicted, Breijo faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
