Junaid Shabir, 19, pleaded not guilty to threatening to kill a woman and two counts of conspiring to murder two women.
The charges concern an incident at a Talke Road home, the Delves, on March 13 this year, when a firearm was discharged.
Shabir, of Lane Road, Reedswood, Walsall, appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court this morning (November 11) in front of Justice Michael Chambers KC.
He spoke to confirm his name and to plead not guilty to three charges concerning two females from the same family.
When asked: "On March 13 this year you conspired to murder, do you plead guilty or not guilty?" Shabir said "not guilty".
He was then asked: "Between March 4 and March 13 in Walsall you conspired to murder, do you plead guilty or not guilty?" But again replied: "not guilty".
Shabir is accused of conspiring to murder the women with another man, who has yet to appear in court. He also denied threatening to kill one of the women on the same day.
The trial has been set for January 16, 2026, and Shabir was granted conditional bail until the trial.
Justice Chambers told Shabir he was being granted bail on the proviso he would remain in contact with his lawyer to formulate the defence for his trial.
