RICHMOND, Va. — Two charges against Levy Nelson were dropped Tuesday in Richmond Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.
Nelson, 41, is accused of killing his 14-year-old daughter, Sadie Terry, and her 18-year-old brother, Zion Terry.
He is also charged with shooting their mother, Tiffany Terry, who survived.
Authorities said Nelson and Tiffany had previously been in a relationship.
The dropped charges were one count of malicious wounding and one count of felony use of a firearm.
The juvenile court dropped those because Nelson was already indicted on the same charges in Richmond City Circuit Court, making the dismissal a formality to prevent overlap.
Nelson is still indicted and charged in Richmond City Circuit Court on charges of aggravated murder of multiple persons, child abuse, violent felon in possession of a weapon, malicious assault, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony and violent felon possessing a weapon.
