LETHBRIDGE – A preliminary inquiry is back underway for a 41-year old Lethbridge man, accused of second degree murder in the death of a nine-month old boy.
The prelim for Tyler Brian Hogan is to determine if there is enough evidence for the case to proceed to trial.
It started in April, but had to be split into two parts, as the Crown and defence noted they were still waiting on forensic medical evidence to come in. It’s expected to take four days to hear the remainder of the inquiry.
According to Lethbridge Police, on Apr. 28, 2016, EMS responded to a report of a baby in medical distress at a home along the 600 block of 17 Street North. Paramedics arrived to find nine-month old Austin Wright inside the home, not breathing and in cardiac arrest. They transported him to the Chinook Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
