Two men suspected of fatally shooting two Chinese students in the US during a botched robbery were charged on Tuesday with capital murder and other counts, local authorities said.
If convicted of the charges, announced by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Bryan Barnes, 20, and Javier Bolden, 19, might face the death penalty.
The suspects, arrested on Friday and being held without bail, made a brief court appearance in Foltz Criminal Justice Center in downtown Los Angeles, but their arraignment was postponed until June 25.
Sources from the court said the defendants' lawyer argued that he had no time to go over all the information.
The Los Angeles Police Department said they were confident they got the right guys.
Deputy District Attorney Deborah Brazil, with the major crimes division, is prosecuting the case, according to a statement from the district attorney's office.
Barnes and Bolden, both from Los Angeles, are charged with the April 11 murder of Qu Ming and Wu Ying, both 23 and second-year graduate students studying at the University of Southern California .
The crime sent shockwaves through the university community.
The men wore street clothes and answered, "Yes sir," when Superior Court Judge Upinder Kalra asked if they understood the charges against them and waived the requirement for a speedy hearing. Their cases were assigned to the public defender's office.
