He told police he and the victim were friends. Police discovered Wingate had been using a Sony PlayStation that disappeared from Gray’s apartment.

An unnamed witness says Wingate admitted to killing someone and asked the witness to come to Gray’s apartment to help dispose of the body. The witness claims Wingate instructed him to burn Gray’s car and stab his dog to death.

Another witness claims Wingate dumped the body in the Allegheny River and shot and stabbed it in effort to make it sink.

Wingate was already in jail. He was arrested in February on an outstanding assault charge in Colorado.

The preliminary hearing for a Homewood man accused of killing a man who remained missing for more than five months was postponed this morning over his attorney's objection.

Defense attorney Wendy Williams argued to Magisterial District Judge Linda Zucco that her client has been in the jail since February and that she was objecting to the prosecution's request for a postponement because of a scheduling conflict.

"They're entitled to a hearing within 10 days of their arrest," Ms. Williams said. "He wants his hearing."

Judge Zucco scheduled the proceeding for May 15.

Homewood man ordered to stand trial in Lawrenceville man's death
May 22, 2015 1:17 PM

snipped

Pittsburgh police and members of a federal fugitive task force arrested Wingate on a probation or parole violation out of Colorado. He had a dark-colored gun on him at the time that had been painted pink in spots, Detective Sheila Ladner testified.

Detective Fallert said a test on the gun at a local crime lab showed that it matched a bullet that was recovered from Mr. Gray's body.

Defense attorney Wendy Williams argued that most of the charges should be dismissed due to a lack of physical evidence in the case. Just because her client had the gun on him when he was arrested doesn't mean he fired the fatal shots, she said.

Assistant district attorney Kevin Chernosky said there was plenty of circumstantial evidence in the case.

District Judge Anthony Savekis ordered Wingate to stand trial on all charges except for an animal cruelty charge stemming from the death of Mr. Gray's dog.

Raymond Schifino waived his preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon... Schifino was charged with arson, theft, abuse of a corpse, animal cruelty and tampering with evidence...

Schifino says Gray was already dead when they went inside. He told police that he then killed Gray’s dog by stabbing it at Wingate’s request. The two men than attempted to use bleach to try and cover up the blood. Police say they dumped Gray’s body in the river in the Arnold-New Kensington area.

Schifino said he stabbed Gray several times because the body wouldn’t sink in the river.

A jailhouse phone call took center stage Wednesday as the trial continued for a man accused of killing a man whose body was found in the Ohio River in West Virginia...

On Wednesday, prosecutors presented a 21-page jailhouse call transcript, as well as the 15-minute audio recording, which they said provides clear evidence that Wingate asked someone to act like they knew nothing about his involvement in Gray’s killing.

Wingate made the call on Sunday, March 1, 2016. In it, he’s heard telling an unidentified caller, “People might be calling you inquiring about me. You don't know a thing."

Wingate, who was accused of killing Andre Gray late Oct. 22, 2014, sat motionless at the defense table Friday as Judge Williams announced his verdict in the non-jury trial that began Monday.

“I believe you did it. I believe you planned to do it. And I find you guilty of first-degree murder,” Judge Williams said to loud cheers in the courtroom. The cheers were immediately followed by sobbing from Mr. Gray’s relatives...

Schifino and Wingate will be sentenced on April 5.

Homewood man sentenced to life in prison and more for Lawrenceville slaying

“You know what you’ve done,” she said Tuesday, glaring at convicted killer Hubert Wingate as he sat at the defense table awaiting his punishment. “You hurt our family. You hurt your family. You hurt everybody.

“When I look at the history, I see a person who coveted other people’s property. I see a person who coveted other people’s lives,” Judge Williams said. “I see a sociopath.”

He then ordered Wingate, 32, to serve the sentence recommended by assistant district attorney Kevin Chernosky — life without parole plus 17½ to 35 years in prison.

On the first day of Wingate’s trial, Schifino pleaded guilty to theft, receiving stolen property, cruelty to animals, abuse of a corpse, reckless burning and receiving stolen property.

In exchange for his testimony against Wingate, Schifino on Tuesday received a prison term of two to six years.
