Accused teenager will not be tried as an adult

One of three teenagers charged in connection with the mass shooting following the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl celebration at Union Station will not be tried as an adult.

The administrative judge of the Jackson County Family Court issued his decision on June 12.

“After hearing the evidence presented by the Jackson County Juvenile Agent and the juveniles' attorneys regarding the certification, the Administrative Law Judge determined that the juvenile was a subject eligible for treatment under the provisions of the justice system for Missouri Juveniles,” the court said. in a press release. “As such, the court did not allow the juvenile to stand trial as an adult, and the case will continue to be heard in the Jackson County Family Court.”

A total of six people have been charged since the shooting.

A judge determines the status of a second teenager.

The charges against the third teen “do not rise to the level of more serious criminal charges for which a juvenile is eligible for a certification hearing,” the court ruled in March.
