Teen charged in slaying of 5-year-old Nizzel George

One of the two teens arrested in the shooting of a 5-year-old boy last week was charged on Monday, the Star Tribune said.

Stephon Terrell Shannon, 17, will be tried as an adult on the charge of aiding and abetting murder, the Star Tribune said.

The criminal complaint listed Shannon as the shooter and another teen, 15, is being charged on suspicion of weapons possession, the Star Tribune said.

According to the criminal complaint, tensions from the September death of a 16-year-old boy prompted last week's shooting, the Pioneer Press said.

According to the county attorney, Shannon says he was not involved in the shooting, he knows who was, but will not tell authorities, the Pioneer Press said.
