A Las Vegas teenager has been charged with murder of an innocent woman who was caught in the crossfire of a gang fight while out walking her dogs.
Kevin Perez-Stubbs, 16, faces charges including murder and conspiracy to commit murder. He was arrested last May, when he was 15.
Prosecutors say it is Stubbs who appears in a grainy surveillance video of the attack.
The gunman is shown hanging out of a window before firing a fatal shot at Shawna McCowan, a 43-year-old who was out walking her dogs.
After the attack, prosecutors say he searched for news articles about the woman's death.

The shooting was sparked by an earlier fight between two teenagers at a nearby apartment complex, according to a police report.
One teen had accused another of stealing his Polymer80 slide gun, which was later recovered near the apartments.

The weapon was not only linked to the shooting, but seen in videos posted to social media, where Stubbs-Perez waved it around and pointed it at the camera.
Polymer80 is the largest manufacturer of un-serialized 'ghost gun' parts, which are untraceable when used in a crime.
Police identified McCowan as an innocent bystander who was walking on the same sidewalk as two teens who were targeted in a drive-by shooting.
A man who identified himself as McCowan's boyfriend told police that he saw the two teens walking toward them as they walked along Bella Lante Avenue.
Suddenly, a person leaned out of the window of a passing car and 'immediately began firing a handgun' in their direction.
