LYNCHBURG, Va. – One Lynchburg man will remain behind bars – for now.
Keri Sharpe was arrested in March and charged with second-degree murder along with possession and use of a firearm in connection with the death of 47-year-old Jared Davis.
Sharpe appeared for a scheduled preliminary hearing on Tuesday morning.
The prosecutor said that the 33-year-old shot Davis eight times during an altercation near 16th Street, then had a six-hour standoff with police near the community access network building.
A key witness failed to appear in court for the second time and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Attorneys requested a $15,000 bond for Sharpe, and the judge said he would make that decision next Tuesday, Sept. 20.
