An Elkview woman accused of murdering a man in his 70s back in February entered a plea this week. 35-year old Brittany Hickman pleaded not guilty on Wednesday after being indicted on charges of first-degree murder, use and presentment of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and other charges related to the death of Richard Crowder. Kanawha County Sheriff’s deputies found Crowder dead at his home on Otter Lane in Mink Shoals on February 13. Hickman is being held at South Central Regional Jail, awaiting a trial.
