PORTLAND, Ore. – An Oregon man and his girlfriend accused of intentionally running down a black teen after an altercation face new charges for targeting the victim because of his race.

Court documents show Russell Courtier pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of first- and second-degree intimidation in the death of Larnell Malik Bruce.

Colleen Hunt pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree intimidation.

They had both already pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder last month.

Police say the 19-year-old Bruce and Courtier got into an altercation outside a Gresham, Oregon, 7-Eleven on Aug. 10, and Bruce was armed with a machete.

According to authorities, Courtier then ran down Bruce with his 1991 Jeep Wrangler and targeted him because of his race.

Attorneys for Courtier and Hunt didn't immediately return calls.
