The state will seek the death penalty against a 22-year-old Montgomery man accused of killing a Taco Bell manager during a robbery in March 2014.

Renauldous Chisholm's trial on the charge of capital murder is set to begin in Montgomery County Circuit Court on Aug. 22, court records show.

Chisholm and Kenneth Temple, who were 19 at the time, worked at the Taco Bell on Atlanta Highway in Montgomery at the time of the homicide.

The pair, along with Temple's cousin, Gacolby Green, 24, are accused of plotting to rob the night manager, Vettia Roche, 43, of the night deposit on March 10, 2014.

A Montgomery police detective claims Chisholm admitted to the crime, which turned deadly when Roche apparently recognized the robbers as two of her employees.

Montgomery Police Detective A.D. Gorum testified in April 2014 that Roche was shot twice, kicked in the abdomen and beaten in the head with a car jack behind the restaurant.

According to court documents filed this week, the state is seeking the death penalty against Chisholm due to the "aggravating circumstances."

The murder was committed during a robbery and was "especially heinous, atrocious or cruel as compared to other capital offenses," the state said in its motion.

Temple's capital murder trial is set to start on Jan. 23. Green's murder trial is set to begin Sept. 26.
