HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - A 14-year-old is facing a murder charge in connection with the fatal shooting of 15-year-old Royce Witchet - but whether that teen will ever be prosecuted as an adult is a question that won't be answered anytime soon.

The shooting happened around 2:40 p.m. Tuesday on a sidewalk outside Westfield High School, where Witchet was a student.

Deputies arrested the accused shooter roughly 24 hours later during a traffic stop.
