11-Year-Old Accused of Murdering Father’s Pregnant Girlfriend to be Tried as Adult

An 11-year-old Pennsylvania boy accused of murdering his father’s pregnant girlfriend will be tried as an adult according to Lawrence County District Attorney John Bongivengo.

Bongivengo has said the decision to charge Jordan Brown as an adult was only due to the fact the state does not permit him to file criminal homicide charges in a juvenile court. As a result, Brown is now being held in the county jail but has been separated from adult inmates.

Brown stands accused of using a 20-gauge shotgun, a gift he received for Christmas, to kill his father’s girlfriend, Kenzie Marie Houk. Police say Brown shot Houk in the back of the head on Friday morning and then left the house and went to school.

A 911 call was placed by some tree trimmers who were told by Houk’s youngest daughter that her mother appeared dead.

Jordan Brown has not confessed to the crime and his attorney, Dennis Elisco, has scoffed at suggestions that Brown was motivated to kill Houk by jealousy.

Houk was eight-months pregnant at the time and was said to be engaged to marry Brown’s father.
