ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — A jury convicted David Lechner of murder after he stood trial this week on charges that he killed his soon-to-be ex-wife at her Denver-area home in March 2023.
Deliberations officially began at 12:15 p.m. Thursday and the jury reached the verdict at 4:15 p.m., the judge said. On March 30, 2023, David Samuel Lechner, who was 45 years old at the time, was arrested after he allegedly shot and killed Tracy Lee Lechner, 42, that morning. The shooting happened outside a home along the 5200 block of S. Geneva Way, southwest of Cherry Creek Reservoir in the Hills West at Cherry Creek neighborhood. David Lechner then tried to flee from the scene in a car. Tracy Lechner died at the scene.
David Lechner was charged with first-degree murder after deliberation, attempted second-degree kidnapping, use of a stun gun and felony menacing with a real or simulated weapon. A judge set a $100 million bond in June 2023. David Lechner pleaded not guilty in December 2023 and the trial was set for April.
