Authorities say a Fort Drum soldier and a 16-year-old boy have been charged in the murder and kidnapping of a 20-year-old soldier found buried under snow in Byram Township.

According to the Sussex County Prosecutor’s Office, Pvt. Jamaal Mellish and the 16-year-old boy, whose identity has not been released, have been charged in the death of Cpl. Hayden Harris.

Reports say the charges include first-degree murder and kidnapping, second-degree weapons charges, and other charges.
