Lee Lambert, a 36-year-old man from Austintown, Ohio, tragically died on November 7, 2022, in Warren, Ohio. He was found dead at the scene of a shooting that took place in the 100 block of Charles Avenue SE. The incident occurred just after 5:45 p.m., and police were dispatched to investigate.
Theodore Nolan, a 29-year-old man from Warren, was arrested and charged with Lambert's murder.
According to police reports, Nolan called 911 and claimed he shot Lambert because Lambert was waving a gun at women and children. However, the police investigation concluded that the killing did not appear to be self-defense. Both Nolan and Lambert were reportedly waving guns at each other during the incident.
Nolan was arraigned in Warren Municipal Court and pleaded not guilty to the murder charge. His bond was set at $500,000, and he was booked into the Trumbull County Jail. The preliminary hearing for Nolan was scheduled for November 28, 2022. Despite the evidence presented, a Trumbull County grand jury declined to indict Nolan, resulting in a no-bill decision.
The case has drawn significant attention, and the community continues to seek justice for Lee Lambert. The investigation remains ongoing, and the legal proceedings are expected to continue as new evidence and testimonies come to light.
