A 14-year-old Upper Darby youth has been charged and jailed in the gunshot death of a 14-year-old girl on Springton Road in the township.<\/p>\n
Nazim Lar, of the first block of Powell Lane, was charged with third-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and related offenses and denied bail after arraignment Friday night by District Judge David R. Griffin.<\/p>\n
The arraignment paperwork states that he was taken to the George W. Hill Correctional Facility.<\/p>\n
He was charged in the death Thursday of the girl, who suffered a gunshot wound to the forehead, and was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, but lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
One witness in the house reported that after they heard the gunshot, Lar exclaimed, \u201cOh my God, I just killed her!\u201d<\/p>\n
The police affidavit stated that Lar and at least one other person knew that the victim\u2019s mother kept a handgun in the house, and they retrieved it. The group had a half day of school and all walked to the victim\u2019s house. The victim texted her mother to let the mother know that she was home.<\/p>\n
