NEW CASTLE (KDKA) ― A judge handed down a ruling Monday morning stating that a boy should go on trial as an adult on charges connected to the shooting death of his father's pregnant fiancée.

According to court documents, Judge Dominick Motto ruled that Jordan Brown, 12, will be tried as an adult in the fatal shooting case of 26-year-old Kenzie Houk last February at the family's farmhouse in Wampum, Lawrence County.

Judge Motto denied a petition to transfer Brown's case from criminal court to juvenile court.

One reason why prosecutors believed Brown should be tried as an adult for the murders of Houk and her unborn child is the evidence that investigators have gathered in the case.

Heinous and despite the defense's contention there is another confession I believe the kid did shoot the stepmom and there are serious problems in the family as well as with Jordan Brown.

Really mixed feelings on this one. Is this kid really beyond redemption?
