FREMONT – The man who was charged with 1st Degree Murder following a shooting outside of the Casey’s in Fremont has waived his preliminary hearing.

The preliminary hearing for 45-year-old Michael Lee was scheduled for yesterday at 11:45am. The next step in the legal process will be Lee’s arraignment, which will take place at the Mahaska County Courthouse at some point within the next 45 days.

Lee’s 1st Degree Murder charge stems from the shooting of 45-year-old David Michael Dyke of Rose Hill. He remains lodged in the Mahaska County Jail on a cash-only bond of $500,000.
