11-year-old Jordan Brown covered a 20-bore shotgun with a blanket and shot Kenzie Houk, his father’s fiancee, in the head before dashing out of the family’s house to ride the school bus said prosecutors at a courtroom in New Castle, Pennsylvania.

A judge has ruled that Brown should not be tried as a minor. If convicted as an adult, he faces mandatory life in prison.

Kenzie Houk’s family claimed that he was jealous of her and her two young daughters. All cohabited in a farm house in Pennsylvania, until the fatal shooting last month.

The boy Miss Houk was carrying was almost full term and died of oxygen deprivation. Jordan Brown has been charged with murdering him also.

Police said they later discovered a shotgun in Brown’s bedroom which smelled as if it had been fired recently. Police also said that Jordan Brown’s clothing had gunshot residue on it.

The trial continues.

Your article is misleading and makes the child appear mysterious. The fact is the child was raised by his father and his birth mom gave him up at 18 months(with another man) and she lives near the boy. She apparently has a 12 year- old daughter she raised. This boy had to move in with his step mom and leave his home. Then he had to get use to having 2 young siblings and then a baby on the way, all in a matter of a few months. He may have been depressed or could have had a deep seeded fear of losing his father and being left out, again. Children need reassurance and we cannot ignore the Jordan is a child. He needs to be treated like a child who made a bad decision and he needs counseling. Adults need to put their children 1st and protect them from making bad decisions.
