LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) — Leavenworth County officials say a 25-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of his half-brother during the weekend.
Cody Huninghake made his first court appearance Tuesday in 17-year-old Robert Nelson's death.
Leavenworth County Undersheriff Jim Sherley said officers who went to a home outside of Leavenworth city limits on Saturday found the victim dead from a gunshot wound. Sherley said the shooting resulted from a disturbance at the home.
Huninghake said during his court appearance on Tuesday that a family member is planning to hire an attorney for him. His next court date is scheduled for July 16.
