RE: PRESS RELEASE – PEOPLE V. SETH LYONS
An Ulster County Grand Jury filed an indictment today in New York Supreme Court charging Seth Lyons with Murder in the Second Degree for killing Anthony Garro, Jr. on November 29th, 2017, in the City of Kingston. The indictment charges Lyons with intending to cause the death of Anthony Garro, Jr. and actually causing his death.
The Office of the Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide and determined the cause of death to be the result of blunt impact head injuries.
Anthony Garro, Jr., was found deceased under the Elmendorf St. Bridge during the early morning hours of November 29th, 2017. An intensive investigation by members of the City of Kingston Police Department and the New York State Police led them to Lyons, who was located in the City of Kingston that same morning. Lyons was subsequently arrested and charged with Murder in the Second Degree.
Lyons is scheduled to be arraigned on the indictment in Ulster County Court on December 15, 2017.
