Jackson County juvenile authorities in the U.S. state of Missouri, have now charged a second teenager, following the murder earlier this week of former Nenagh, Co. Tipperary native and well-known Kansas City chef, Mr Shaun Brady.
He is charged, in Jackson County family court, with second degree murder in the fatal shooting of Mr Brady and the attempted theft of a motorised vehicle.
A second teen, a 15-year-old boy, was charged on Thursday, with felony murder; attempted stealing of a motor vehicle, and armed criminal action. His name, as is the case in all juvenile proceedings, has not been placed in the public domain. Both suspects currently remain in police detention at a Juvenile Detention Centre.
The two male juveniles were arrested by police within an hour, following the shooting, in the Midtown area, while the stolen vehicle was also located nearby.
The first teen, a 15-year-old boy, charged on Thursday last, was in family court on Friday, accompanied by family members, and had a detention hearing. It is expected that on September 25th next, he will face a judge who will determine if he is to be tried in an adult court.
Information on the court appearance for the second teen has yet to be confirmed.
