The Office of U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom issued a release Wednesday of federal grand jury indictiments.  One of those involved a recent case on Fort Riley.

Juwuan D. Jackson, 18, who lives on the Fort Riley Army base, is charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter. The indictment alleges that on Sept. 11, 2015, he handled a firearm in a reckless manner resulting in the death of 16-year-old Kenyon Givens, who also lived on Fort Riley.

 

Jackson initially was charged in a criminal complaint filed Sept. 16, 2015, in U.S. District Court in Topeka.

 

If convicted, Jackson faces a maximum penalty of eight years in federal prison. Army Criminal Investigations Division and the FBI investigated. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Robin Graham and Assistant U.S. Attorney Tony Mattivi are prosecuting.
