He's one of three men charged in the killing of Montano. 

She was riding in her father's pickup when she was shot. The Montano family was headed home after riding four-wheelers to celebrate Montano's eighth-grade graduation.

Prosecutors say Lozada, David Ruble and Demonte Rushing saw the truck hauling the four-wheelers and decided to rob the family so they could sell the ATVs.

A jury convicted Ruble of Montano's murder in September. Rushing accepted a plea deal on Thursday, March 2, 2017.
