A teen accused of shooting and killing a 14-year-old Chaparral High School student was indicted this week on murder with a deadly weapon and other charges.
A Clark County grand jury indicted Barron Hamm in the May slaying of Jared Flemming, who was shot and killed at his birthday party. Jared was about to turn 15.
Authorities said Hamm, 17, was believed to have been trying to rob people at the birthday party. He shot Jared in the back while the victim was running away from the party at his sister's apartment, near Nellis Boulevard and Sahara Avenue, police said.
Hamm is being held at the county jail without bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned on July 29.
