Augusta Woman is Second Suspect in Richmond Murder

An Augusta woman is facing a murder charge in connection with the death of a Richmond man last fall.

30-year-old Chanda Lilly was arrested by State Police on Tuesday and charged with felony murder. Public Safety Spokesman Steve McCausland says she is the second person facing charges for the death of Andrew Sherman. His body was found on October 11th, after a friend asked police to do a safety check because they hadn't heard from him in a while. The State Medical Examiner hasn't released his cause of death but says he likely died in late September. Also charged with murder in this case is 42-year-old Tyon Shuron of Augusta, who was arrested on February 8th.

Lilly will make her first court appearance in Sagadahoc County Superior Court in Bath on Wednesday morning.
