Authorities: Second 15-Year-Old Arrested In Teen's Death

WYOMING, Mich. (WWJ/AP) - Authorities say a second 15-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the death of a 16-year-old boy, whose body was found in a Grand Rapids-area park.

Police say Michael White's body was found in Lions Park in Wyoming on Saturday. A cause of death has not yet been released, but reports say he suffered trauma to the head.

Authorities announced Monday they had arrested a 15-year-old Kentwood boy, and police confirmed Tuesday that a 15-year-old from Wyoming had also been arrested, according to The Grand Rapids Press. White knew at least one of the suspects, according to police.

The teens are being held while prosecutors determine whether to charge them as juveniles or adults.
