PITTSBURGH (AP) - A western Pennsylvania judge has revoked the bail of a teenager charged in the shooting death of his best friend’s girlfriend.

Eighteen-year-old Cashaan Williams of Arnold is charged in Westmoreland County with third-degree murder in the Nov. 7 killing of 16-year-old Akira Waters of Avonmore in the basement of her boyfriend’s home.

Williams was released in April on $100,000 on the condition that he not have any drugs or alcohol. But the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (https://bit.ly/2qxoYwL ) reports that his bail was revoked Tuesday on the basis of a Facebook video allegedly showing him drinking and riding in a car with marijuana.



Defense attorney Duke George Jr. said prosecutors couldn’t prove when the video was made or posted, and his client told him it was made before bond conditions were imposed.
