Video game taunts may have led to killing
CHICAGO, March 18 (UPI) -- A 16-year-old Chicago boy has been charged with first-degree murder in a killing possibly triggered by taunts during a video game, authorities say.

James Terry, who was charged as an adult, was ordered held on $700,000 bond in the Feb. 15 stabbing death of 11-year-old Clay "C.J." Ether, the Chicago Tribune reported.

They were among seven people playing video games in a second-floor apartment when Terry began taunting C.J., Assistant State's Atty. Diana Garcia-Camilo said.

According to the police report, C.J. left for the first floor where he lived and two witnesses said they saw Terry at the boy's apartment a short time later. After the stabbing, Terry was found hiding in a closet, the report said. DNA on the knife handle links Terry to the death, Garcia-Camilo said.
