SAGINAW, Mich. (WNEM) - The stepbrother of a 10-year-old girl who was found murdered in Saginaw shortly after being reported missing has been found incompetent to stand trial for her murder.
Jameion Peterson was charged with open murder for the death of 10-year-old Na’mylah Turner Moore who was found dead on Aug. 30. She was reported missing early that morning.
Hours after being reported missing, Na’mylah’s body was found in an abandoned lot near 12th and Annesley Street by Michigan State Police troopers.
