SANGAMON COUNTY, Ill. (WCIA) — A Springfield woman has been arrested in connection to a involuntary manslaughter case.

According to Illinois State Police, 39-year-old Kavita Lettimore was arrested on Tuesday in connection to an incident that happened back in February.

Waverly Police Department requested ISP’s help on Feb. 21, 2024 to investigate a death that occurred Feb. 18 on West State Street near South Brooks Street. After investigating, ISP discovered someone had interfered with the victim’s medical device, leading to their death. ISP identified the victim as 39-year-old Randy Lettimore.

On Oct. 15, ISP presented their case to the Morgan County State’s Attorney’s Office, and Lettimore was charged with the Class 2 Felony. She was then taken into custody.
