Baltimore County police have arrested and charged as an adult a 15-year-old Essex teen they say shot and killed an acquaintance Friday.
Corey Daniel Powell, 15, of the 1000 block of Foxcroft Lane, was charged with first-degree murder Saturday in the shooting death of Jordan Canada, 17.
Police found Canada, also of Essex, shot outside an home Friday morning in the 900 block of Sandalwood Road, police said.
He had suffered a gunshot wound to the upper torso, said Cpl. Mike Hill, spokesman for the Baltimore County Police Department. Canada was taken to Bayview Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. Police did not reveal where on his body Canada was shot.
An investigation and information provided by witnesses identified Powell as the shooter, Hill said. Police said the two teens were acquaintances, but detectives have not determined a motive.
Powell is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center without bail. A bail review is scheduled for July 6.
