A Lancaster man charged with fatally shooting his neighbor earlier this month after an argument will face the accusations in court, prosecutors said Thursday.

Authorities said Geraldo Rosario shot Josean Martinez in the chest Oct. 3 after a confrontation on his porch on the 600 block of High Street. Martinez died of his injuries.

During a Tuesday preliminary hearing, Lancaster County District Judge Adam Witkonis ordered Rosario to face homicide and reckless endangerment charges in court, according to a news release from the Lancaster County District Attorneys Office.

Lancaster City police officers found Martinez wounded inside his High Street home, with Rosario kneeling over him.

Prosecutors said a child was outside at the time of the shooting and saw what happened.

Rosario is being held at Lancaster County Prison without bail. His formal arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 13.
