Leavenworth County officials say a man has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of his half-brother during the weekend. Cody Huninghake, 25, made his first court appearance Tuesday in the death of Robert Nelson, 17.
Leavenworth County Undersheriff Jim Sherley said officers who went to a home outside of Leavenworth city limits on Saturday found the victim dead from a gunshot wound. Sherley said the shooting resulted from a disturbance at the home.
Huninghake said during his court appearance on Tuesday that a family member is planning to hire an attorney for him. His next court date is scheduled for July 16.
