Teen charged in deadly shooting appears in court

JACKSON, Tenn. — A juvenile facing a homicide charge in a recent shooting appeared Monday in court.

The 16-year-old juvenile is being held without bond at the Madison County Juvenile Detention Center. Judge Christy Little says the teen will undergo a forensic and mental health evaluation before another hearing scheduled for Sept. 6.

The victim’s family was there for the Monday hearing. They politely declined to comment on camera.

This juvenile’s name and charges have not been released. Police say the 16-year-old faces a homicide charge in connection with the July 13 murder of Michael Jerod Harris.
