Police are investigating the death of a 12-year-old Mississippi boy who was fatally shot while apparently playing a game of Russian Roulette with two other kids.

Jackson Police say the victim, identified as Markell Noah, was found Friday after he was reported missing earlier in the day.

Deputy Police Chief Deric Hearn told WLBT that Noah's body was left at an abandoned house in a suburban area of Jackson.

Three people -- two juveniles and a 21-year-old -- have been arrested.

The juveniles, ages 14 and 17, are facing murder charges, while the adult is charged with being an accessory after the fact, WAPT reported.

No further details were released as the investigation is ongoing.
