(Beaver, Pa.) Jury selection is expected to finish up Wednesday morning and the trial of Sheldon Jeter Jr. should get underway after lunch break on Wednesday afternoon according to Beaver County Radio News Correspondent Sandy Giordano who spoke with Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier yesterday afternoon.

Jeter is accused of killing his childhood friend Tyric Pugh in Aliquippa on May 15 of 2020.

Investigators say that Jeter’s trial will focus on May 15, 2020 when Pugh was found dead lying on Kiehl Street in Aliquippa after being shot multiple times. Investigators found seven spent .380 shell casings lying on the road around Pugh’s body and surveillance video showed a vehicle they believe belonged to Jeter.

Investigators say when they went to Jeter’s home, they found a weapon matching the shell casings found at the crime scene. Jeter’s attorney has denied that Jeter has any involvement in the case.
Lozier said the trial should last for a few weeks.
