LOS ANGELES—A 20-year-old man was ordered Tuesday to stand trial on murder charges stemming from the killing of a man during a robbery along Angeles Crest Highway and the shooting deaths of two people inside a parked car during an attempted hold-up in Rancho Palos Verdes two days later.

Following a hearing that lasted about 1 1/2 days, Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Coen rejected a request by Marco Antonio Hernandez’s attorney, Damon Hobdy, to dismiss the case against his client.
