MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities in Tennessee have identified remains found at a marina as a missing 20-year-old man who police think was killed months ago during a robbery.

News outlets report the remains found near the Mississippi River on Oct. 6 were identified Tuesday as Baba Said.

Memphis police posted on Twitter that they charged a 15-year-old girl with first-degree murder in perpetration of a robbery, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. She hasn’t been publicly identified.



In July, authorities also charged 25-year-old Jalen Braden with murder. Investigators said then that they found a blood-stained couch on his curb, but hadn’t located a body.

WREG reports Braden told authorities that he and the girl lured Said into a home, robbed him and shot him before dumping his body.
