Verdict Reached In Gun Case Against Suspect In Officer Death

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A federal judge plans to announce a verdict in the case of an ex-convict charged with illegally possessing a pistol that was used to shoot and kill an Albuqueruque police officer. Chief Judge M. Christina Armijo has scheduled a hearing Friday to announce the verdict. Her decision follows a two-day bench trial that ended Tuesday in Albuquerque, where witnesses described seeing the shooting, and a man — identified by police as Davon Lymon — in a helmet run away. Lymon was found hiding in a shed behind a home hours later. Police say Officer Dan Webster pulled over Lymon on Oct. 21, 2015, because the suspect was driving a motorcycle with a stolen plate. Police named Lymon as a suspect in the shooting, but he has not been charged in state court in the case.
