Tentative Dates Set for Case of Man Accused of Shooting Branford Doctor

Tentative dates have been set in the case of Dr. Lishan Wang, the man accused of shooting Dr. Vajinder Toor outside his Branford condominium nearly five years ago, the New Haven Register reports.

Wang, 48, shot Toor, 34, outside his home in April 2010 and attempted to shoot his wife.

Superior Court Judge Thomas V. O’Keefe has scheduled the jury selection to take place in April and the trial in May, the paper reports.

In October, Toor’s younger brother, Tajinder Toor sent a letter on behalf of his family to Superior Court Judge Patrick J. Clifford saying the family had been waiting too long for justice.

Wang in turn sent a letter to Toor’s family in November declaring his innocence.

The dates for the jury selection and trial are still tentative.
