CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A 15-year-old Charleston resident is facing two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of two people found last week in the front seat of a car.
Charleston Police say they arrested and charged the boy on Saturday in the deaths of 53-year-old Bruce Edward Duling and 33-year-old Carrie Dawn Pontier.
Sgt. Steve Cooper says the boy's name was not released because of his age, but the county prosecutor and court system will decide whether to charge him as an adult or juvenile.
Cooper also would not say how police were able to connect the teenager to the shooting, if there were any witnesses to the killings or if police have the gun used to kill the couple.
The Kanawha City shootings were the first two murders of the year.
