FARMINGTON — A bail hearing will be held at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7, at Franklin County Superior Court for a Wilton man accused of fatally shooting a New Sharon man on June 1.
Timothy Danforth, 24, pleaded not guilty Aug. 19 to a charge of intentional or knowing murder of Michael Reis, 24, outside of Danforth’s father’s house on Weld Road in Wilton.
The charge is punishable by 25 years to life in prison.
Danforth was indicted by a grand jury on Aug. 18.
Police said Reis was part of a group who went to the house and got into a confrontation with the home’s occupants, who included Danforth and his father.
After the shooting, Reis was taken to Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington by friends and was pronounced dead there.
Danforth is being held without bail at the Franklin County jail in Farmington.
Justice William Stokes will oversee the hearing and Maine Assistant Attorney General Robert “Bud” Ellis will prosecute the case. Defense attorney Sarah Glynn of Paris has been appointed to represent Danforth.
