Kansas City, Kan. ? A 13-year-old girl has been charged with murder in the shooting death of a 16-year-old boy, authorities said.

The girl was charged Friday in Wyandotte County District Court after she turned herself in to police.

Authorities said Scott Sappington Jr., 16, may have been the victim of an attempted carjacking as he drove away from dropping off younger siblings at his grandmother’s house. He was on his way to work when he was shot to death Wednesday.

The Kansas City, Kan., girl faces charges of first-degree felony murder, or in the alternative, second-degree murder, District Attorney Jerome Gorman said in a news release.

She also was charged with attempted aggravated robbery.

Felony murder charges are often filed in cases where someone is killed during the commission of another felony.

The charges were filed in the court’s juvenile department.
