GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP) - An 18-year-old man accused of firing several shots at an apartment building in Laurel has now been charged with first-degree murder.

Stephon Jackson was initially arrested last month and charged with firearm offenses in the shooting that led to the death of another 18-year-old man in January. He was released on Saturday after posting bail.

Police say after his release, he was charged in a warrant with first-degree murder. Officers found him in Georgetown and arrested him again. He’s now being held on $540,000 bond.



It was not immediately clear whether Jackson has an attorney.
