Teen guilty in 2012 KCK homicide

A Kansas City, Kan., teenager was convicted of first-degree murder Thursday in the 2012 killing of another teen.

A Wyandotte County jury found Deaarion Potts, 17, guilty in the October 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Kansas City, Kan., resident, Ramon Bradley.

The jury also found Potts guilty of car burglary and criminal discharge of a firearm at an occupied vehicle.

Potts, who was 15 at the time of shooting, initially was charged as a juvenile, but Wyandotte County prosecutors moved to have him tried as an adult.

Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 24.
