STURGEON BAY - An Illinois man has pleaded not guilty to charges he killed a woman and her unborn child in Door County.

Brian Cooper, 35, made the plea in court Thursday. He is charged with killing Alisha Bromfield and her unborn child last month at a resort. Authorities say the two were in Door County for a wedding, and Bromfield allegedly told Cooper she wanted to break off their relationship. Cooper told investigators that he strangled Bromfield, and then tried to kill himself before he called police.

Cooper’s attorney is also requesting a change of venue; that motion was not argued Thursday.

Cooper’s trial is set to begin Jan. 28.
