14-Year-Old Boy To Be Tried As Adult In 16-Year-Old Girl's Killing

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A 14-year-old boy will be tried as an adult for the brutal murder of a Baltimore teen.

According to WJZ media partner The Baltimore Sun, Raeshawn Rivers is charged with murder, rape, arson and gang offenses in the death of 16-year-old Arnesha Bowers.

Investigators found her on June 7 in her northwest Baltimore rowhome.
