The man accused of strangling his ex-girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter with a pink cellphone charging cord and dumping her body in an alley near an airport was arraigned on federal charges Monday, according to the U.S Attorney for the Western District of Michigan.

Wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, 26-year-old Rashad Maleek Trice responded ‘yes’ and ‘no’ to questions U.S. Magistrate Judge Ray Kent asked about his rights and whether he understood the charges during the hearing, the Detroit Free Press reported. Trice pleaded not guilty to kidnapping resulting in death, which carries a potential death sentence as punishment, and kidnapping a minor, which contains a life prison sentence if convicted.

“The alleged facts in this case are staggering, and my deepest sympathies go out to the mother, to the father, to the family,” U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Michigan Mark Totten told reporters following the hearing, according to the Free Press. “My office is fully prepared to do everything necessary to establish the facts beyond a reasonable doubt.”
