Boggs, of Campbell Drive, died after apparently being shot in the 200 block of Cereal Avenue at 1:20 a.m., police said.
According to police, Brazzell was “playing with a firearm pointing it at the victim and discharged the firearm striking the victim in the head.” Brazzell was booked into the Butler County Jail Thursday morning at 9:39 a.m.
Reckless homicide is a third-degree felony with a maximum sentence of 36 months in prison if found guilty.
Boggs was found suffering from an “apparent gunshot wound” after police were called, according to a police report. He was transported to Fort Hamilton Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
In the 911 call obtained the Journal-News, a woman is heard screaming during most of the two minutes. A woman shrieks and another yells, “What is the address?” as the dispatcher tries ask questions and send help.
After a few seconds, a woman says, “Hi, I guess there’s a kid shot here.” She was able to give a address, but hung up after saying she was in the house. There was no answer when the dispatcher called back.
