A 15-year-old Cedar Rapids juvenile will face a first-degree murder charge in adult court, accused of fatally shooting Michael McCune, 16, in February, in Cedar Rapids. A pending plea deal will allow the teen to be sent to a juvenile facility until he turns 18.
A judge ruled this week to move a 16-year-old out of juvenile detention because there’s not enough space and staff to keep him and three other teens, charged in fatal shooting of 16-year-old Michael McCune, separate pending their trials.
Judge waives 16-year-old into adult court for his participation in fatal shooting of another 16-year-old in February. Details during hearing reveal the three charged Michael McCune was targeted because others had “beef” with him.
