The criminal complaint says Bean, on the first day of sixth grade, was shot in the chest and abdomen on the 800 block of Aldrich Avenue North. Witnesses say Bean was fighting with another boy when that boy's masked brother, later identified as Grady, walked up and began shooting in Bean's direction, before fleeing in a vehicle. Bean later died in an area hospital.

Grady's whereabouts had been unknown for weeks. He was charged in mid-September. He faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted.
