AUBURN — Two defendants charged with murder in connection with a shooting death appeared Wednesday in Auburn City Court.
Joshua Poole, 36, was killed in a Nov. 15 shooting that occurred at his home at 8 Delevan St. in the west end of Auburn. Three Auburn residents were charged Nov. 22 in connection to the homicide.
Gage Ashley, 22, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Wednesday morning, said Christopher Valdina, chief senior assistant district attorney of Cayuga County. In the afternoon, Tyree Anglin, 19, also waived his hearing.
Valdina said the waivers divested their cases to Cayuga County Court.Â
The third co-defendant, 17-year-old Auburn resident Lucciano Spagnola, also waived his right to a preliminary hearing. He waived the hearing Tuesday afternoon during a rearraignment in Cayuga County's Youth Part, which is a specialized court that handles cases with defendants younger than 18 years old.
