Ohio police: Boy shot after Apple store dispute dies

COLUMBUS (AP) — A 15-year-old boy who was shot in the head after a dispute inside an Apple store has died, and a new charge is possible for an older brother accused in the shooting, a prosecutor said today.

Andrake Kelley died Wednesday, police homicide detectives said in a news release. He sustained a single gunshot wound to the head in the shooting that rattled shoppers Saturday night at Easton Town Center, a shopping center with upscale stores about eight miles northeast of downtown Columbus, police said.

The boy's brother, Andrew Kelley, 16, was charged Monday with a delinquency count of felonious assault in the shooting. Franklin County Assistant Prosecutor Dennis Hogan said he planned to meet soon with detectives about possibly amending the charge in light of Andrake Kelley's death. Hogan declined to say what new charge could be filed.

The shooting in an outdoor area of the mall followed an altercation inside the Apple store, police have said. Detective Steve Glasure told The Columbus Dispatch words were exchanged between two groups of youths and that Andrew Kelley fired shots into the air. Police would not say if they believed he intended to shoot his brother, the newspaper reported.
