Teen Arrested For
Murder
05/09/08 MRC/CJ
A Louisville teen has
been arrested and charged in a shooting death late Tuesday
night.
The 17-year-old Shawnee
High School student, whose name was not released because
of his age, was arrested at the school Wednesday,
according to Lieutenant Barry Wilkerson, head of the
Louisville Metro Police Department homicide unit.
DelShawn Banks, 34, was
found shot to death about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday near the
intersection of 31st Street and Young Avenue, according to
Jo-Ann Farmer, chief deputy Jefferson County coroner.
Wilkerson said Banks
apparently confronted the teenager about a comment that
was made to Banks' girlfriend and the verbal argument
escalated.
The teen has been charged
with murder, robbery, tampering with physical evidence and
possession of a handgun by a minor.
Police have recovered a
handgun that they believe was used in the shooting.
