(KNZA)--A teen accused in the stabbing death of another teen at a St. Joseph park last month will stand trial.
The St. Joseph News Press reports 18-year-old Sebastian Dowell was bound over for trial on a charge of second-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Kaytlin Root after waiving his preliminary hearing Monday.
Arraignment was set for December 8th.
A 17-year-old female is also charged with second-degree murder in Root’s death. A December 8th hearing has been set to determine whether she should be tired as an adult.
Root’s body was found by a jogger at Krug Park on October 16th. Authorities say the two suspects lured Root to take a ride that ended up at the park where she was stabbed multiple times.
Dowell remains held in the Buchanan County Jail without bond.
