CRIMINAL HOMICIDE CHARGES FILED IN CONNECTION WITH FATAL NEW KEN SHOOTING

Charges of criminal homicide have been filed in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in New Kensington two years ago.  The Trib reports that 41-year-old Larry Osborn Nix II of West Brownsville in Washington County is the first to be charged as a result of a Westmoreland County investigating Grand Jury that was seated early last year.  He was charged in connection with the December 2022 shooting death of James Michael Hayes, who was found behind the Kensington Arms Apartments in the 400 block of 11th Street.  Nix has denied the allegations.  He is being held in county jail without bail awaiting his trial.
