LAS VEGAS -- A fight over name-calling between girlfriends promoted a fight that resulted in the death of a Missouri State University football player outside his Las Vegas home, according to a police report about the arrest of a teenager charged Friday as an adult with murder.
Richard Allan Newsome Jr., 17, stood in shackles and wasn't asked during a brief initial court hearing to enter a plea in the killing last weekend of Richard J. Nelson.
A judge scheduled a Feb. 6 preliminary hearing of evidence in the case. Prosecutors might also take the case to a grand jury.
