Investigators initially said it was unclear what led to the shooting, but witnesses said they heard some type of dispute before the juvenile was shot.
Dann’s arrest report indicates Queen was shot and killed in a robbery that may have been drug-related. The report also shows that police recovered shell casings at the scene from two different kinds of guns, which suggests an exchange of gunfire.
Dann was identified as the suspect in the shooting and arrested the next day on felony murder and armed robbery charges. Felony murder can be charged when a person dies as the result of a felony committed by the suspect, such as armed robbery.
