BRIGHTON, Colo. -- (KDVR) -- The teen accused of killing a 10-year-old girl will be tried as an adult, the Adams County District Attorney's Office said Tuesday.
The 15-year-old suspect in the case was transferred to adult court.
Kiaya Campbell died on June June 7 after leaving her father's Thornton home to go to the store with the suspect.
Neighbors found her battered body in a ravine the next day. She had been beaten to death, according to an Adams County Coroner's Office autopsy report.
Two days later, officers arrested the 15-year-old suspect, who lived in the same home. His mother was in a relationship with Campbell's father at the time.
