Two people shot dead on Gambare Place in Auckland's Wattle Downs last month have been revealed as Elaine Rudolph and Keagan Bell.
The accused is a 30-year-old man from Drury, who has interim name suppression.
He appeared in the Auckland High Court on Wednesday and entered two not guilty pleas.
Justice Michele Wilkinson-Smith asked for quiet in the public gallery as yelling erupted when the accused appeared in the dock.
Name suppression will continue until a trial set for September 2027.
Previously a resident who says she witnessed the incident told 1News she saw a car pull into the cul-de-sac and a person get out.
Outside the house, a heated argument erupted, followed by a gunshot and then several more.
She said the person returned to the car and drove away before hearing more gunshots at the other end of the road.
