Oklahoma boy arrested in death of Paris teen

By Scott Harvey

Idabel – After several days of interviews and forensic testing, Oklahoma authorities have arrested who they believe responsible in the death of Paris teenager Sharonda Bronner.

Bronner's body was found last Monday in the bathroom of the Idabel Community Center with a single gunshot wound to the head.

Arrested on Tuesday was a 16-year-old boy from Idabel High School whom authorities claim knew Bronner.

The arrest comes on the same day Bronner was laid to rest in Detroit, Texas. Several of her classmates from Paris ISD are said to have filled Maxey Funeral Home Chapel Tuesday morning.
