The two men accused in the murder of a Marine learned Friday that if they are convicted, the Commonwealth plans to pursue the death penalty.
The men are accused of killing Lance Corporal Jonathan Price outside of a Lexington bar.
Lexington police and prosecutors plan to try and prove that Quincinio Canada and Dawan Mulazim not only killed 26-year-old Price, but they shot his wife Megan and robbed them both.

Doing so would make both men eligible for the death penalty.
A grand jury indicted Canada and Mulazim just days after the one year anniversary of the murder.
Police said that three months after the murder of Price, the two accused men went on a lengthy crime spree that included car chases, multiple robberies and even another shooting.
Canada and Mulazim both face additional charges in Louisville that are unrelated to the shooting. Their attorneys asked the judge to allow them to stay in the Fayette County Detention Center which makes it easier for them to travel back and forth to their case.
