ULYSSES, Kan. — The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says a 13-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting another teen in southwestern Kansas last month.
The KBI says in a news release that the Grant County Sheriff’s Office arrested the boy Thursday afternoon on suspicion of second-degree murder, criminal possession of a firearm and possession of stolen property in the April 28 fatal shooting of 14-year-old Christopher Garcia. Investigators say Garcia was shot at a Ulysses park and taken to a Wichita hospital, where he died four days later.
The 13-year-old arrested is being held at the Southwest Kansas Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Garden City.
