A man from Fort Myers accused of being involved in a deadly home invasion is headed to trial.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said 40-year-old Richard Cochran is responsible for the death of his accomplice, 16-year-old Robert Mosely.

Deputies said the two forced their way into a home in September 2021 and held a family at gunpoint.

Cochran took off when one of the victims shot and killed Mosely.

Cochran’s trial is expected to begin Tuesday morning.
