Mobile police have upgraded the charges against a 15-year-old boy accused in the accidental shooting death of an honor roll student.
14-year-old Nubian James, an honors student at Williamson High School, was shot in the head Monday night at a home on Woodlawn Drive South. James was transported to USA Medical Center. He was pronounced dead at 10:15 p.m. Thursday.
Homicide investigators determined James and two other teenagers were playing with a gun when it accidentally went off. One of the teenagers was orginally charged with assault. Those charges have now been upgraded to manslaughter. The 15-year-old remains in custody at Strickland Youth Center.
