AUBURN - An Auburn Correctional Facility inmate serving 25 years to life said he will fight extradition to California, where he is accused of participating in a liquor store robbery in which a man was murdered.

Raheem Edwards, 28, appeared in Cayuga County Court Tuesday where he was informed he is wanted for robbery and murder in Anaheim, Calif., for allegedly stealing money from a cash register while an accomplice, Robert Feeney, shot and killed Haeng Shin Kim, a Lucky 7 liquor store clerk in 2000.

Feeney was convicted of first-degree murder in 2008 after a grainy surviellance video showed him walking up to Kim and shooting him in the back of the head as he attempted to crawl away on the floor.

Edwards, whose case was profiled on Auburn native John Walsh's "America's Most Wanted," said he will challenge extradition.

Cayuga County District Attorney Jon Budelmann said an executive agreement signed by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and New York Gov. David Paterson outlines an arrangement where Edwards would be extradited to Anaheim for a trial and then returned back to the Auburn Correctional Facility to finish his sentence here.

Edwards is currently locked up on convictions of second-degree murder and second- and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon for shooting a 14-year-old Kings County boy in the back.
