Due to his age, Flores can be kept in custody at most until his 25th birthday. Judge Marcus Cuper scheduled a follow-up hearing later this month. Flores and Lance Burnett, 18, were arrested in the Oct. 27 shooting death of Ryan Dwayne Kephart in a large field near South Washington Street and East Belle Terrace. Police said the teens started a fight with Kephart, who was homeless. Kephart defended himself with a tree branch.
