A 54 year old Rochester man, accused of fatally shooting his nephew over the weekend, pled not guilty to that charge in a court appearance on Tuesday.

Vinh Phan had turned himself into police on Saturday, after 32 year old Viet Ho Tai was found dead of a gunshot wound inside a car on Veterans Place, near Alexander Street.

Phan is facing charges of second degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

He is being held without bail.
