The Brief The man accused of shooting a teen in Spotsylvania County home will still face second-degree murder charges, a judge ruled.
The teen was allegedly filming a "ding-dong ditch" prank for TikTok when Bosworth fired the fatal shots.
At Wednesday’s preliminary hearing, a judge certified that 27-year-old Tyler Butler will be tried for second-degree murder.
Back in May, Butler, a northern Virginia man, shot and killed a teenager around 3 a.m. during what investigators initially called a "ding-dong ditch" TikTok prank.
What they're saying:Defense attorneys claimed that Butler fired in self-defense, deeming what happened as very far from a typical "ding-dong ditch."
