Cheerleader Death leads to Felony Charges

In Criminal by Greensboro Attorney

Top Rated Lawyer

The short version

A 25-year-old man is now in custody after a 16-year-old cheerleader was found dead on Valentine’s Day. The man is accused of concealing her death as well contributing to the delinquency of a minor because apparently they were doing drugs at his apartment. The bigger question is what was a 25-year-old doing with a 16-year-old in the first place?

According to a top rated lawyer at our law firm, a friend of the 16-year-old said she went to sleep and when they woke up she was cold to the touch. Our Greensboro attorney was advised that when a friend told the 25-year-old that she was cold to touch he said she’d been like that for hours. The man was afraid to call 911 because of the drug use and her age.

The man is then alleged to have moved her body from the apartment to the breezeway.

He told her friend to tell police that she died there.

Our attorney in Greensboro was advised that a judge declined to set a bond in this case and he’s currently being held under no bond.
