Trial delayed for woman accused of luring Pasco murder victim to scene

The trial for a 27-year-old woman charged in connection to the December 2014 death of a Pasco man has been postponed to Aug. 15.

Mary A. Faucett agreed to the delay Friday by waiving her right to a speedy trial.

She is charged in Franklin County Superior Court with conspiracy, first-degree rendering criminal assistance and making false or misleading statements to a public servant.

Prosecutors allege she approached Lorenzo “Richie” Fernandez Jr.. at a convenience store, got his phone number and called him later that night acting like she wanted to get together with him.

Fernandez was shot to death as he sat in his car in the parking lot of the Stonegate Apartments, the alleged meeting spot.

The 22-year-old Pasco man’s death reportedly was part of an ongoing gang feud.

DeShawn I. Anderson and Kenyatta K.E. Bridges, Faucett’s husband, both are charged with first-degree murder.

Bridges’ trial is scheduled April 4, and Anderson is set to face a jury May 18.

Faucett has been in custody since last May with bail set at $150,000.
