Daniel Alphonse Paul, 42, was arrested in April, after a month-long search that reached as far as the U.S.
He was arrested and charged with second-degree murder after two officers spotted him riding his bike on Broadway in Vancouver, a few blocks away from a police station.
Paul appeared by video link in court Friday. He wore a red T-shirt, spoke only to answer "yes" three times, and showed no emotion during the proceedings.
His lawyer, John Turner, entered the plea of not guilty, and elected for a trial in front of a B.C. Supreme Court judge and jury.
A date for the trial has not yet been set.
