Philadelphia man convicted in 2016 Bristol Township murder
A Philadelphia man has been found guilty in a cold-case shooting that claimed the life of a Bristol Township resident nearly nine years ago. George Clark, 34, was convicted of third-degree murder and related charges in Bucks County Court for the 2016 killing of Herbert Lyals. The incident occurred just before 1 a.m. on July 27 in the 5000 block of Truman Street, in the Terrace neighborhood. Prosecutors say Clark and another man, John Wilson, lured Lyals outside of the resident through a cell phone call after learning he was holding a large amount of cash. Lyals was shot twice and died at the scene. Charges were filed against Clark and Wilson in April 2024 after a lengthy investigation. Clark will be sentenced at a later date. Wilson, 45, also from Philadelphia, is awaiting trial on third degree murder charges and additional offenses.
