The teenager charged with the alleged murder of Malachi Yisrael was ordered held without bail.

Lamont McDonald, 16, was charged with Yisrael’s murder last week. Yisrael and a juvenile male were found suffering from gunshot wounds in the 300 block of 50th St., NE. Yisrael died from his injuries.

McDonald is being held as his case continues, and is being tried as an adult.
