The Beaverton Police Department charged a juvenile with first degree murder for the death of 13-year old Milana Li, according to a press release.
The juvenile was charged on the morning of Friday, May 20, police said. Police can't disclose further details due to juvenile confidentiality laws, the press release said.
As a matter of editorial policy, The Times does not report the names of juveniles accused of a crime unless they are tried as adults.

On May 11, the Oregon State Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide.
