Officials on Thursday announced charges against the suspect in last week's fatal shooting of 9-year-old Yasin Morrison in Newark.

Yasin Morrison was killed last Friday when he was struck by a bullet fired from a great distance, prosecutors said on Thursday. CBS News New York's Christine Sloan reports.

The man who was arrested, Jesse J. Dunbar II, also faces charges of first-degree attempted murder, aggravated assault and unlawful possession of a weapon, according to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office. The office said he was “also charged with shooting an adult male,” but did not say whether that referred to the 36-year-old.

Jesse Dunbarr, 36, is now facing first-degree murder charges in the death of 9-year-old Yasin Morrison. The child's grandparents say Friday evening, their son was dropping Yasin and his 3-year-old sister off at their house on Osborne Terrace to spend the weekend.
