Man Charged in Killing of Mormon Missionary
A man was charged in Chesapeake with killing a Mormon missionary and wounding another in a shooting that police suspect occurred because the victims had witnessed a crime while they were discussing their religion door-to-door.
James Rickey Boughton Jr., 19, was arrested at his home and was being held without bond, police said. He is charged with first-degree murder and malicious wounding, among other counts.
The missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were shot Monday, and Morgan Winslow Young, 21, of Bountiful, Utah, died Monday evening.
