Two men facing murder charges in Springfield held without bail
SPRINGFIELD — Two men charged with the November killing of 27-year-old Shain West are being held without the right to bail, the Hampden District Attorney's Office announced on Monday.
Joey Sanchez and Daevon Shular are facing charges including murder, carrying a firearm without a license and threatening to commit a crime, which the DA's Office said was robbery. Both have pleaded not guilty.
On Nov. 30, police found West shot in a Liberty Heights apartment building on Home Street. He died at Baystate Medical Center.
Police arrested Shular, a 21-year-old man from Texas, the next day at Baystate, where he was being treated for a gunshot wound. He has a pretrial hearing on Tuesday, according to the DA's Office. In mid-December, police arrested Sanchez , a 27-year-old Chicopee resident. His pretrial hearing is scheduled for Feb. 6.
West's killing was the third in a week in Springfield. The Springfield Police Department Homicide Unit and the Murder Unit at the Hampden District Attorney's Office continue to investigate the case.
