Man faces charges for involvement in shooting

A Clearlake Oaks man faces charges of attempted murder and assault after he is suspected of involvement with a shooting near Austin Park.

The defendant, Treyvon Lashawn Jones, was present and not in custody for the setting of the preliminary hearing.

During the hearing the Court relieved Michael Levinsohn as counsel and appointed Marion Titus as counsel for the defendant.

The People inquired if the current offer has been rejected by the defendant as Mr. Levinsohn confirmed the offer has been rejected.

The People withdrew the offer and the preliminary hearing has been set for next month.

During a hearing last month both the People and defense counsel agreed to a continuance stating there was outstanding discovery and possible reappointment of counsel due to Mr. Levinsohn leaving the contract.

The Court confirmed this case for a preliminary hearing to be heard in February, which was continued.

At the request of the previous defense attorney Michael Levinsohn, witness Daniela Marquez, who was present in court, was ordered to be present at the preliminary hearing.

During a hearing in January, the Court met with counsel in chambers; finding that there was discovery issues necessary to the defense that needed to be resolved.

At that time there were no objections to the defense's request for a continuance.

In October of last year the defendant entered a not guilty to the charges, denying the special allegations.

The defendant faces charges of two counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault with firearm on person and discharging a firearm in a negligent manner.

The charges stem from an incident that occurred last September when Clearlake Police responded to the 14000 block of Uhl Avenue, which is near Austin Park.

Upon investigation, it was determined that

numerous subjects were involved in an altercation, which resulted in a shooting.

Three suspects fled the scene and there were no reported injuries regarding the shooting.

Probable cause to either arrest or obtain arrests warrants for the three suspects was obtained due to the investigation.

There has been one juvenile suspect arrested and as of February, another juvenile allegedly involved has not been arrested as of yet.

The third adult suspect, Treyvon Lashawn Jones, 26 of Clearlake Oaks was identified and arrested in October of last year at his residence. Jones was booked at the Lake County Jail for attempted homicide.

The defendant has since bailed out and no longer remains at the Lake County Jail.
