    Wall pleads not guilty to second-degree murder

    A Fort Riley man facing charges of 2nd-degree murder and attempted aggravated battery pleaded not guilty to both Tuesday morning during his arraignment at the Riley County District Courthouse.

    Tierre Wall, 26, allegedly shot 27-year-old Casey Lindley in the forehead during a confrontation at the intersection of Skyway Drive and Kansas Highway 114 near Ogden during the early morning hours on March 10.

    Wall maintains he acted in self defense after Lindley, his fiance and his two friends got out of their vehicle and approached Wall’s at the intersection.

    The incident started after Lindley’s fiance, Kristina Harrison, picked Lindley and his two coworkers at Auth-Florence, also known as Florence Manufacturing, at 2 a.m. following their shift. She testified on Sept. 25 that she was followed in a red pickup by Wall and a passenger from the same parking lot.

    Harrison said before they’d left the parking lot, her and her company had commented on Wall, who was having difficulty backing his pickup out of a parking space. After that, Harrison said Wall was tailgating her. She said she felt threatened and “brake-checked” Wall several times.

    When Harrison’s black Chevrolet Trailblazer was approaching a stop sign at the intersection of Skyway Drive and Kansas Highway 114, she said there was discussion of getting out of the Trailblazer once stopped and confronting the driver of the red pickup — Wall — to ask what the problem was.

    From there, things escalated quickly and fatally.

    Lindley quickly approached the driver’s side of the red pickup with Harrison not far behind, while Lindley’s coworkers approached Wall’s acquaintance on the passenger side of the vehicle. Arguments and fighting broke out and Harrison said Lindley was shot in the forehead by Wall after Lindley had tried to block the gun out of his direction.

    From there, Harrison went to Lindley’s aid and Wall and his passenger — who was in a fight with Lindley’s co-workers — left the scene.

    Wall dropped his passenger off, made a stop by an ATM for cash and fled. He was later arrested in Georgia after Wall had turned himself in.

    Wall, who has no prior criminal history, said the act was done in self defense and that Lindley provoked the incident.

    Pretrial motions will be heard on Dec. 10 and trial will begin on Jan. 11.
