Judge Orders 12-Year-Old Murder Suspect To Remain In Custody
OMAHA, Neb. (AP/WCCO) — A judge has ordered a 12-year-old suspect in a deadly Omaha shooting to remain in a youth detention center.
Jarrell Milton had his first court appearance Friday, with prosecutors saying he is a member of one of Omaha's most violent street gangs. His pretrial hearing was set for July 21.
Milton is one of three suspects charged with first-degree murder in the June 29 slaying of 31-year-old Jamymell Ray. Prosecutors say Ray was shot when Milton and two teens lured him and another man to a park on the premise of a marijuana deal.
He was arrested Tuesday in Minneapolis. The other two suspects, ages 15 and 17, were arrested in Omaha last week.
