Man pleads guilty in Raleigh pool hall slaying

Dudley Lamar Kee pleaded guilty in Wake County Superior Court on Tuesday to second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday.

Kee and another man, James Keith Nelson, were each charged with murder in the death of 26-year-old Marcus Rashad Owens, who was shot Feb. 18, 2014, at Bar and Billiards on South Saunders Street. Owens died from his injuries several days later.

Investigators said Owens was shot following a verbal altercation.
