GERMANTOWN, Md. (WJZ) --Shots fired Wednesday night outside a recreation center in Montgomery County left one person dead and three people hurt. A 14-year-old has now been charged with murder.

"There were several people outside who were playing basketball and there was some sort of confrontation and shots were fired," said Shiera Goff with Montgomery County Police.

Montgomery County Police said 20-year-old Axel Trejos is dead after 14-year-old Shilen Wylie opened fire on a crowd of people Wednesday night. It all happened around 10 p.m. outside the Plumgar Community Center.

"Upon arrival, they found four individuals who had been shot, three appeared to be juveniles and one appears to be an adult," said Goff.
