A 16-year-old boy is getting a competency exam after being charged with murder in Michigan in the death of a friend who was shot in the back of the head.
The victim, 18-year-old Brady Morris, had been staying at the home of Abdu Akl in Genesee County's Fenton Township, near Flint. Morris was killed March 4 while other members of the Akl family were in the house.
Akl is charged with murder, possessing a stolen firearm and two more crimes.
The Flint Journal reports a judge ordered the exam Thursday following a request from defense attorney Frank Manley, who has said Morris' death was an accident.
Authorities say Akl and Morris occasionally put guns to their heads, something known as Russian roulette, but they weren't playing at the time.
