Ryan Cupp, 18, turned himself in after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Witnesses told police the teen and Cupp were “playing around” with guns in the kitchen, court documents say.
Then, one witness told police they saw Cupp point a black gun with gold accents at the teen and pull the trigger, firing a round at the teen’s head, according to court documents.
Cupp was originally charged with first-degree assault for the shooting, but police said the charge will be upgraded to wanton murder.
Police have not identified the 13-year-old.
