Scott County, TN (WOKI) – A Scott County man has been indicted months after a fatal shooting involving a teenager in Huntsville.
According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, agents were called in on April 19 at the request of 8th Judicial District Attorney General Jared Effler to assist the Scott County Sheriff’s Office in investigating the death of 14-year-old Gage King. The shooting happened in the 100 block of Byrges Creek Road.
Investigators identified Cole Felthoff, 19, as the person responsible in King’s death. On June 11, a Scott County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Felthoff with aggravated assault, aggravated assault resulting in death, and reckless homicide.
Felthoff turned himself in to authorities and was booked into the Scott County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
Officials emphasize the charges are allegations, and Felthoff is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
