A 16-year-old is charged in the death of another 16-year-old boy.

Terrence Smith Jr. was shot and killed near the intersection of Getwell Road and New Willow Road in May 2016. Investigators said he was running from gunfire when a bullet hit him in the back.

Months later, 16-year-old Clifton Mayes was charged as an adult in his death.

Mayes is charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence.
