Three teens — two boys, ages 14 and 15, and a 16-year-old girl — were initially arrested. Court records show the two boys are now charged with felony murder and attempted robbery, with one also facing an additional arson charge.

Investigators say surveillance video shows Krause getting into a car with the teens. Minutes later, he attempted to get out and run toward a nearby bar.
Prosecutors say the teens chased him down and one of them shot him in the chest, killing him.
