Tristan Batten

Harvest Davidson

Two men accused of gunning down a man in South Lake Tahoe in January pleaded not guilty to murder on March 21.

Tristan Batten, 18, and Harvest Davidson, 20, are charged with the shooting death of Dennis Wright Jr., 40, of Amador County. Wright died at Barton Memorial Hospital on Jan. 30 not long after being shot multiple times at the Beverly Lodge.

Two other suspects in the case remain at large. Domenic Seanlee Randolph, 24, and Dion Jermaine Randolph Vaccaro, 26, are considered armed and dangerous, according to the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office. Detectives said they most recently have lived in the Fairfield, Vallejo, Napa and Sacramento areas. Those are the same locations where Batten and Davidson hail from.
