Overview
- The 18th Judicial District announced the charge on March 17, adding an aggravated juvenile offender sentence enhancer.
- Deputies found the 5-year-old dead on March 10 at a home on the 5200 block of South Jericho Street in Centennial.
- Investigators identified the 11-year-old brother as the suspect that day, took him into custody, and booked him at the Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center, where he remains detained.
- Evidence collection continued with drones, a K-9, and a grid search in and around the home.
- Officials have limited disclosures because the case is in juvenile court, and the coroner is withholding information out of respect for the family, as the victim’s school provides mental-health support to students and staff.
