LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One of the teens arrested for the murder of Tyree Smith at a Jefferson County Public Schools bus stop is being charged as an adult in the incident.

A grand jury returned an indictment on Jan. 31, charging 16-year-old Demaurion Moore on murder, attempted murder assault and possession of a handgun by a minor among other charges.

Moore was arraigned on Tuesday where a judge set his bond at $750,000.

Those charges are in connection to Smith’s death and several other JCPS students who were victims of the violence at the bus stop last September.
