YAZOO CITY, Miss. (AP) - Authorities say they’ve arrested a second teenager in the shooting death of a Yazoo City man.

The 15-year-old boy turned himself in Wednesday, WAPT-TV reported. He was charged with capital murder and home invasion.

Sylvester Brown, 64, on Tuesday was pronounced dead at a hospital after being shot at his Yazoo City home.



When investigators went to the home, they arrested the first teen - also a 15-year-old boy - and charged him with capital murder.

Both teens are being held at the Yazoo Regional Correctional Facility.
