COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A juvenile charged in connection with the deadly shooting in a Facebook Market meet-up is set to have a certification hearing in the Boone County Courthouse Wednesday morning.

A juvenile faces charges including second-degree murder, robbery, stealing and armed criminal action in connection with the death of Michael Ryan Burke in January.

The juvenile is scheduled to appear before a judge Wednesday at 9 a.m.

The meeting between Burke and the group was arranged in the 1400 block of Ridgemont Ct. through Facebook Marketplace to sell a phone, according to court documents.

Alexis Baumann, Kobe Aust and Joseph Crane are also facing charges in the case. Baumann's bond was lowered and she was eventually released from jail.

Court documents state that Baumann allegedly told police the juvenile shot Burke and then sold the phone at a kiosk at the Walmart on Conley Road.

The group had reportedly stolen phones from two other victims two days before the shooting. Security video and information provided by Facebook were used to connect the group to the crimes.
