The second-degree murder charge against teen Rashid Caviness-Bey was amended Thursday, just one day before Caviness-Bey was scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing.
Caviness-Bey is now suspected of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Osman Al-Akbar on Aug. 17.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. today (Friday).
