TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Prosecutors want a 17-year-old to face adult charges in a Topeka shooting that left an 18-year-old woman dead.
WIBW-TV reports that the teen suspect faces a second-degree murder charge in the death of Ashley Usher. She was found Saturday afternoon inside a house suffering from a gunshot wound and died later at a hospital.
Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay says he plans to ask a court to try the teen as an adult. He also faces charges of interference with law enforcement, theft of a firearm and criminal use of a weapon.
