Tierre Wall, 26, of Fort Riley appeared in Riley County Court on Thursday for what was scheduled to be a preliminary hearing.

 

Wall is suspected in the shooting death of Casey Lindley, 27, of Ogden. Officers were dispatched to Ogden at 2:10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 12, 2015 after receiving reports of a shot fired. Police found Lindley suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to a Topeka hospital where he later died of his injuries. Wall was arrested after turning himself in at a Georgia police station.

According to Barry Disney, Senior Deputy County Attorney, Wall’s attorney was allowed to withdraw from the case and the preliminary hearing was continued until a later date.

Wall is going to attempt to hire a private attorney. A status hearing is set for July 13 at 9 a.m. to determine if he has a new attorney and if so, to set up a preliminary hearing date.

Wall’s charge of voluntary manslaughter is a severity level 3 personal felony, and comes with a minimum 55 months of incarceration, up to 247 months and $300,000 in fines.
