A 14-year-old East Texas boy faces a murder charge in connection to the shooting death of his 8-year-old brother.

Zayden Worley, 8, was shot over the weekend and airlifted to Children's Medical Center in Dallas, where he was pronounced dead.

Initially, Henderson County investigators were told Zayden was standing on the porch and was hit by a stray bullet from a wooded area, but detectives put the evidence together and concluded that story was physically impossible. After further questioning, they have now arrested Zayden's older brother.
