A 13‑year‑old boy in Newburgh, New York, has been charged with second‑degree murder after an 11‑year‑old friend was shot and killed at a house in the Hudson Valley. Police say the case began on Thursday morning when emergency crews were called to the scene. Investigators recovered a gun and identified three juveniles who are now the main focus of the investigation.
The 13‑year‑old was arrested soon after the shooting. Authorities confirm that he fired the fatal shot, overturning earlier reports that the 11‑year‑old might have accidentally discharged the weapon while playing. The victim’s name has not yet been released, and details about how the incident unfolded remain unclear.
New York police are working to piece together the timeline and motives. As the case moves forward, law‑enforcement officials will likely release more information about the suspect, the recovered firearm, and any witnesses that can clarify what happened in this tragic event.
