The teen accused of shooting and killing his friend in Cooper City will not be charged as an adult.
New information has been released in the case of a South Florida teen accused of accidentally shooting and killing his friend.
Prosecutors said the 14-year-old suspect will not be charged as an adult for the shooting that happened last month at his Cooper City home.
Police said three teens were passing a gun around and taking turns pulling the trigger when a shot rang out, killing 14-year-old Charlie Martin.
They found the gun in an unlocked carrying case in the garage. The gun belonged to the suspect's step-father, who the Sun Sentinel reported will not be charged.
The teen suspect is still charged with manslaughter as a juvenile. He was expected to be released to his parents on Thursday, but it's unclear whether that happened.
