15-year-old boy kills his brother because he wanted his brother’s girlfriend

Dakota Thornton from Dauphin County in Pennsylvania, US, is now in prison after confessing to the police that he shot his brother dead. He was having an argument with his brother Dominick, 18, over a girl they both liked. Dauphin County District Attorney, Ed Marsico, said: “The brothers were having a dispute over a young lady. .
Both of them apparently were romantically interested in this young girl and that’s what lead ultimately to the killing. It’s certainly unusual to have a case where a brother shoots and kills his brother especially the ages of these individuals.”
Dominick was killed in an apartment at around 2am on Wednesday morning. All homicides in Dauphin County are handled in the adult court system and Dakota faces charges of first degree murder and possession of a weapon.
