Juvenile charged with murder in Monday shooting that killed a teen

UPDATE:
A juvenile has been charged with murder in the shooting death of a 17-year-old on Monday.

Paducah Police have arrested a 14-year-old in the case. Investigators conducted a number of interviews and also served several search warrants as they worked to determine the identity of and locate the alleged shooter. The 14-year-old male accused of pulling the trigger was arrested at about 5:40 p.m. on Tuesday. Detectives believe an argument led to the firing of a handgun, which resulted in the death of the 17-year-old.

The accused shooter was charged with murder and booked into the McCracken Regional Juvenile Detention Center.

The investigation is continuing.
