The teen arrested in connection to the killing of 23-year-old Brett Scrogham may be charged as an adult, prosecutors said.
During a news conference Friday morning, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears addressed the high-profile case and said his team has filed a petition to waive the case to adult court, which is protocol for the state of Indiana.
Scrogham was an Indiana University Business School graduate who was shot in Indianapolis on May 28.
Mears announced the 14-year-old suspect is facing charges of felony murder, armed robbery, and dangerous possession of a firearm.
"A Marion County court judge will ultimately make the determination, the decision, as to whether or not this individual should be tried as a juvenile in juvenile court, or as an adult in adult court," Mears said.
