Earlier this week,  TMZ reported that the legal documents say Silva “did unlawfully, and with malice aforethought” kill La Barrie. The official charge is a felony count of second-degree murder. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has not yet set an arraignment date. 

Now, ET reports that Daniel Silva was arraigned on May 20 and has officially plead not guilty for the murder of Corey La Barrie. The case is set for a preliminary hearing on June 30. As of now, a $2 million bail is being recommended for Silva. But in addition, the defense counsel set the case for bail review next Wednesday, May 27.

Police were called to the scene of an accident after Silva was allegedly driving with La Barrie and crashed into a street sign and tree. The pair were in a McLaren sports car but it’s unclear who owned it.

According to an LAPD news release, “a 2020 McLaren 600LT was traveling eastbound on Huston Street at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control.”
