Sincere Camps, aged 14, has been apprehended and charged as an adult with murder in relation to the execution-style shooting of a 28-year-old pizza delivery driver in North Philadelphia.

Camps is currently being held without bail, with his initial court appearance set for July 21, 2026. Authorities are still searching for the second suspect identified in the surveillance footage.

Every state in the United States permits minors to be charged and tried as adults under certain conditions, particularly for violent felonies. These transfers are generally carried out through judicial waiver, statutory exclusion, or prosecutorial discretion.

 At least 28 states have enacted laws that require automatic charging in adult court for minors above a specific age who are accused of particular serious offenses, such as murder or armed robbery. For instance, in Mississippi, 13-year-olds are automatically tried as adults for most violent crimes committed with a firearm.

However, in approximately 13 states (including Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, and Pennsylvania), there is no statutory minimum age for a child to be prosecuted as an adult.

In 44 states, the upper limit for juvenile court jurisdiction is set at 17 years of age, whereas Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin establish the adult threshold at 16. In contrast, Vermont allows juvenile jurisdiction to continue until the individual reaches 19 years of age.
