Caitlyn Marie Kaufman, a 26-year-old Nashville nurse who graduated from Butler High School, was fatally shot in December on her way to work at a Nashville hospital. On Thursday, two men charged with her death pleaded not guilty in a Tennessee court.

Two men pleaded not guilty Thursday in a Tennessee court to killing Caitlyn Kaufman.

James Edward Cowan, 28, and Devaunte Louis Hill, 20, both face a single count of first-degree murder in what investigators have previously called the road rage-related lethal shooting of Kaufman on Dec. 3.

A 2012 Butler Area High School graduate, Kaufman, 26, was gunned down in her Mazda SUV on Interstate 440 in Nashville while on her way to St. Thomas West Hospital, where she worked in the intensive care unit.

The two pleaded not guilty during their video arraignments Thursday at Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County court before Judge Angelita Dalton.

With bond denied, Hill and Cowan are being held indefinitely at the Davidson County Detention Center awaiting trial.
