Cecil Man Accused in Shooting Incident Will Stand Trial
Tyrone Lett waived charges of criminal attempt and more to court this week.
A Cecil man accused of shooting someone outside his home will stand trial for aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, simple assault, disorderly conduct and criminal attempt.
Tyrone Lett, 44, of Raven Drive, waived his right to a preliminary hearing before district Judge Valerie Costanzo Tuesday, online court records show.
According to a criminal affidavit, police were summoned to Canonsburg General Hospital Saturday for a report of a man seeking treatment for a gunshot wound.
A man identified as Richard Reed told police he received a call from his niece stating that someone wanted to speak with him.
The criminal complaint indicated the pair had been arguing over a family issue.
Hours later Reed said he received a call from a man asking to meet first at the Henderson baseball field. Reed was called later and the man amended the location to be Raven Drive.
Reed, along with his brother, then drove to Raven, and exited the vehicle near a known residence.
That's when Reed told police he was shot at.
Through an investigation, Cecil police identified Lett as the alleged gunman.
He was taken into custody without incident earlier this month.
Police recovered a shotgun an a spent casing and live shell from beneath his balcony.
Left was arraigned by Costanzo and remanded to the Washington County Jail after being unable to post a $200,000 bond.
He remained in jail as of Wednesday.
