A teen who was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of another Lawrence teen took a plea deal on Monday, the day his trial was set to begin.

The defendant, Cir Allen Keith Glover, 19, entered a plea to 2nd-degree reckless murder in the death of Isaiah Neal, 17. Part of the plea included an agreement to serve 120 months in prison, which would be a downward departure in sentencing that must be approved by a judge.

Neal was gunned down outside his family’s Alabama Street apartment on June 13, 2024.
