ALLENTOWN (AP) _ Three men have been ordered to stand trial in Lehigh County Court in a homicide that happened at a graduation party in May.

Charges against 20-year-old Tahreel Maleek Townsend, of Brooklyn, N.Y., and 17-year-old Brandon Anthony Figueroa, of Allentown, were held for court at a hearing Monday. The third defendant, 29-year-old Tariq Qaadir Bailey, of Allentown, waived his right to a hearing.

Figueroa is charged as an adult with homicide and conspiracy to commit homicide, while Townsend and Bailey are charged with conspiracy to commit homicide. All are being held without bail.

They are charged in the death of 22-year-old Jimmy L. Ortiz, who was among dozens of people at a party May 10 to celebrate his brother's graduation from Moravian College.

District Attorney James Martin has said Ortiz was shot in retaliation for the May 8 shooting of 17-year-old Davine Law in Allentown, but he says there is no evidence that Ortiz was involved in that killing.

Figueroa's attorney, Brian Collins, declined comment on the case. Attorneys for Townsend and Bailey did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
