According to the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office, “In the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, MD, before the Honorable Margaret Schweitzer, a jury has convicted defendant, Jaime Havier Lee, 43, of an unconfirmed address, on the charge of second-degree murder for the stabbing death of 36-year-old Cornelius Lyon of an unconfirmed address. The jury returned its verdict late yesterday evening. Lee faces up to 40 years in prison. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 28th, 2023, at 1 p.m. in front of Judge Schweitzer.
This trial, prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorneys Donna Fenton and Jodie Mount stemmed from an incident on May 2nd, 2020. That afternoon, officers with Montgomery County Police and Rockville City Police responded to the 100 block of Frederick Avenue in Rockville where the victim, Lyon, was lying on the ground, deceased. According to witnesses, Lyon had walked to the area in an attempt to seek help. He had been stabbed by Jaime Lee inside of a nearby apartment in the 700 block of Lenmore Avenue. Witnesses say a group of men were inside the apartment when a fight broke out over $20 dollars. The defendant and victim became involved in a verbal argument which escalated, and Lee stabbed Lyon in the face, chest, left arm and neck. Multiple people then fled the apartment including both the victim and the defendant. Rockville City officers located Lee in the area a short time later.”
